    Jun 1 | How to Rely on A Spiritual Guide

    Original price was: $35.00.Current price is: $30.00.
    Guided meditations and teachings with modern Buddhist teacher Gen Kelsang Jindak Saturday Workshop June 1 10:00 am – 12:45 pm
    All schools of Buddhism agree that the practice of relying upon a spiritual guide, is the root of the spiritual path and the foundation of all spiritual attainments. We can understand this from our ordinary experiences. For example if we want to acquire special skills, become proficient at a particular sport, or learn to play a musical instrument well, we naturally seek a qualified teacher to instruct us. By following a teacher’s example and sincerely applying his or her instructions, eventually we accomplish our aim and become just like our teacher. If reliance upon a qualified teacher is necessary for mundane achievements, how much more necessary is it for spiritual attainments such as liberation and enlightenment. In this workshop we’ll learn about the Buddhist practice of relying upon a spiritual guide, who is a qualified spiritual guide and how to rely correctly.
    “Just as in our ordinary education we need to rely upon the help of well-qualified teachers, so in the spiritual training that leads to full enlightenment we need to rely upon a well-qualified Spiritual Guide.” – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Joyful Path of Good Fortune
    This morning workshop will include practical instruction and guided meditations on the very blessed and inspiring practice of Guru Yoga, or relying upon a Spiritual Guide. By practicing the instructions given in the course, we will be able to quickly and easily purify negativity, accumulate a great deal of positive energy in our mind, and activate our potential for spiritual growth and realization.

    Saturday Workshop with Resident Teacher Gen Jindak June 15:  10:00 am – 12:45 pm
    While we do not like to think about this, all of us will eventually have to face the loss of loved ones, as well as our own death. The Buddhist understanding of death and dying is enormously beneficial. In particular it will allow us to acknowledge our own impermanence and transform the truth of our death into a life-enhancing energy that will empower us to truly make the most of our lives, to live and die joyfully and meaningfully. In this morning workshop, Gen Jindak will explain the Buddhist perspective on death, how we can prepare ourself and how to help others who are dying.

    May Series:  I'm Still not Happy!  What am I Doing Wrong?!
    We often ask ourselves this question after we’ve set ourselves up with all of the comforts we thought we would need to be happy…a well paying job that we enjoy, comfortable living conditions, a successful relationship or two etc. We often think we are doing something wrong, or worse, that something is wrong with us when we continue to feel dissatisfied and unhappy in spite of all of the external “wealth” we have accumulated. In this four-week course we will explore the true nature of our dissatisfaction and learn new ways of thinking that will empower us to create the inspired life we often wish we had.
    Everyone is welcome – regardless of background or experience!
    All drop-in meditation classes are free for monthly supporting members.

    This series is a practical guide to meditation that teaches us how to develop inner peace and make our lives more meaningful. Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all.

Therefore, it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make ourself and others truly happy.
