General Program of Meditation Classes

The General Program is a drop in class for everyone from complete beginner to experienced meditator.

Each class begins with a simple but relaxing meditation. Then there is a talk by the teacher on an aspect of Buddhist view that will help you find your own inner peace. There is time for questions and discussion, and the class concludes with a meditation based on the teaching, and advice on how to take the teaching into your daily life.

Welcome!

More and more people are discovering the power of meditation to transform their lives. When life is busy, meditation creates an inner calm. When you are feeling stressed, meditation helps you relax both body and mind. When you are confronted with difficulties, meditation helps you deal with them in a positive way. When relationships turn sour, meditation gives you the wisdom to repair them. When you are full of your own problems, meditation gives you the compassion to cherish others. Vajradhara Buddhist Center offers a wide range of meditation classes for all levels of experience, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.

Happiness and suffering are states of mind. The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we shall be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions. - Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
