Modern Buddhism: Building a Meditation Practice

WITH Gen Kelsang Chokyi

Friday Morning | 10:00 - 11:15am | $12 drop-in | Free for members

Buddha’s teachings are the supreme medicine that permanently cures both physical sickness and the sickness of delusions. Just as doctors give different medicine for different sicknesses, so Buddha gave different Dharma medicine according to people’s different capacities. He gave simple teachings to those of initial scope, profound teachings to those of middling scope, and very profound teachings to those of great scope.

In November, Gen Chokyi will explore the four noble truths which identify very clearly what we should know, what we should abandon, what we should practice and what we will attain. 

You don't need to be Buddhist to benefit from these teachings. Each class includes a relaxing breathing meditation, a teaching, a contemplative meditation, and a closing dedication. Classes can be attended individually or as a series.

The Friday morning meditation class is taught by Gen Kelsang Chokyi with guest Kadampa teachers on occasion.

This class will be using the book Modern Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche which is available as a free download or available to purchase at the Center Bookstore.
