Beginner's Corner News

If you're new and curious about what we have to offer, we suggest you consider the following programs to get you started. Join any weekly General Program (GP) class at any time. The General Program provides a basic introduction to Buddhist teachings and meditation that is suitable for beginners. Through these classes we can learn how to use Buddha's advice in our daily lives to solve our problems and find the peace and happiness we seek.

 

Sunday Mornings          11a-12:30p
Dealing with Delusions
With Buddhist Teacher Dawn Jackson
According to Buddha, our unhappiness and problems come from painful and distorted states of mind which we call delusions.  
The essence of Buddhist practice is to identify and let go of these delusions, and gradually replace them with their virtuous opponents, peaceful and clear minds which produce happiness. Everyone welcome to this six-week course.  Each weekly class includes meditation, teaching and discussion.   Students can benefit from single classes or the entire series.

The "Real" Good Life

with Buddhist Teacher Bob Rice
When you think of the good life what comes to mind?  This six-week series challenges our definition of the good life and provides extraordinary insight into creating real meaning each day of our life.  Based on applying the simple yet profound principals known as the six perfections, each class focuses on practical changes in our life which are personally liberating and beneficial to others.  Based on the ancient Buddhist poem "Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life" by Shantideva.  Each weekly class includes meditation, teaching and discussion. Students can benefit from single classes or the entire series. Everyone welcome regardless of background or experience.
