Happiness From a Different Source

Tuesdays 7-8:30pm

bodhisattva vows

When things go wrong in our lives, we tend to think of our circumstances as the problems but in reality it is the way we look at circumstances that is the real problem.  If we were to respond to our problems with a peaceful state of mind they would not be problems for us.  We will learn some meditation practices that will help us to make positive inner changes, dissolve our stress and experience greater happiness and relaxation in our daily lives.   Everyone welcome regardless of background or experience.

Maybe you've wearied of the same old lunch?  Here's the perfect(and perfectly different) way to let the stress and pressure of life melt away so you can return from your lunch hour feeling refreshed and nourished.  Join us for a 30 minute meditation to calm our minds with Buddha's practical advice.  After this internal healing we'll need external sustenance, so please finish off this meaningful break with a bowl of homemade soup and a plentiful helping of conversation.
