Guided meditations and teachings with Resident Teacher Gen Jindak

Inner Peace is Happiness: A Buddhist Perspective

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 Buddhist spiritual practice on the stages of the path to enlightenment, or Lamrim. Suggested reading: Modern Buddhism

The Magical Practice of Taking & Giving

with Buddhist Teacher Duane Butler (June 28 – July 19)

In this series we will meditate on taking by means of compassion and giving by means of love. These meditations have been used for centuries as healing meditations, and this is also a powerful method for healing painful mental tendencies such as insecurity, anger and hurt.

Taking and Giving practice has many benefits, including boosting positive energy, purifying the mind and in particular enabling us to deal skillfully and peacefully with our daily challenges.

Summer break:  Fri, July 24 – Fri, August 7 (center closed)

Living Lightly: Experience Freedom with Emptiness Meditation

with Gen Jindak (Aug 9 – Aug 30)

Emptiness is the word used by Buddha to describe the ultimate nature of reality. It is not just an idea, but an experience of freedom from limitation that allows us to let go of our painful ways of relating to ourselves and the world. It is a source of joy, creativity and healing that we can all tap into at any time. Through meditating on emptiness we can quickly become the person we wish to be, and we open ourselves to our potential for complete liberation and enlightenment.

In this series we can gain a practical experience of the meditation on emptiness, and integrate it into our daily life.

Gen Kelsang Jindak has been a disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for over 25 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. He’s very knowledgeable and passionate in his presentation of Dharma; and includes real-life, relatable examples in his teachings.
