Description

Make it your best year ever with practical weekly meditations In this series we explore Buddha’s teachings on creating a life of gratitude that’s spiritually engaged and feels totally protected and supported. This is a great place to start your spiritual journey towards realizing your potential or just to refresh your meditation practice. We’ll also have a special class Feb 14 on relationships from a Buddhist perspective. Feb 7 Developing appreciation and gratitude for our life Our human life is precious, rare and immensely meaningful. In tonight's meditation we learn to encourage ourselves to engage in spiritual practice so we can find real lasting happiness and not waste our life. Feb 14 Exploring relationships through Buddhist wisdom We have all kinds of relationships with others - romantic, familial, work related, and so forth. What if all these relationships could also be spiritual? What might that look like from a Buddhist view? Feb 21 Get Spiritual Energy from Death and Impermanence Meditations Although we wish to engage in meditation, we have difficulty finding time to practice and are often distracted when we do practice. A deep realization of death, beyond just an intellectual level, will touch our hearts and give us the motivation we need to actualize our pure potential. Feb 28 Finding shelter from the storm We know bad things happen and life is uncertain. For protection we can turn to what is called the Three Jewels in Buddhism. Buddha is the source of the teaching and bestows blessings. Dharma means spiritual teachings and realizations. Sangha are the pure spiritual practitioners who support us on our journey.
