Inner Peace is Happiness: A Buddhist Perspective (Apr 6 – June 22)

Is happiness possible? Buddha taught that peace of mind is the source of happiness and that it comes from within our own mind, not anywhere else.

On Sunday mornings we are learning meditations for controlling and transforming our mind, so that we can attain a lasting state of freedom and joy, independent of external conditions. These practical instructions are perfect for daily meditation, as they clarify important aspects of spiritual practice on the stages of the path to enlightenment, or Lamrim.

Guided meditations and teachings with Buddhist teacher Duane Butler

Becoming A Friend of the World (June 29 – Aug 3)

Many people have the altruistic wish to benefit others, but few understand how to accomplish this successfully in daily life. Bodhisattvas are friends of the world, which means that they care about all living beings. Through the force of their strong compassion, they engage in six special practices, called the six perfections, that enable them to transform all their activities into methods for helping and benefiting everyone.

In this series, learn how to be truly beneficial to yourself and others and become a friend of the world. Suggested reading: Introduction to Buddhism.

Gen Kelsang Jindak has been a disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 20 years. Ordained as a Buddhist nun in 2003, she was given the name Kelsang Jindak, which means “Fortunate Benefactor”. She has many years of experience teaching and volunteering at Kadampa Centers around the U.S. Gen Jindak has a clear, joyful teaching style and presents Kadampa Buddhism practically, for both beginners and experienced meditators alike.

Duane Butler  has practiced meditation and Kadampa Buddhism for many years and studies in our Foundation Program. He is currently co-teaching our Sunday morning meditation classes.
