Living in the Moment

WITH GEN CHOKYI

Thursdays 6:00 - 7:15pm | $12 drop-in | Free for members

Our mind is extremely powerful, but until we develop concentration we have no means to harness our mind’s power and use it to reduce our stress, worry and anxiety.

In this series we will learn how to train in meditation and mindfulness to improve our concentration thus developing a deeper peace of mind. With fewer distractions, we will experience greater contentment, and be able to focus our mind in a beneficial way. 

The main function of virtuous concentration is to make the mind peaceful.

        -  Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

You don't need to be Buddhist to benefit from these precious teachings. Each class includes a relaxing breathing meditation, a teaching, a contemplative meditation, and a closing dedication. Classes can be attended individually or as a series.

The Thursday night meditation class is taught by Gen Kelsang Chokyi with guest Kadampa teachers on occasion.

This class will be using the book How to Understand the Mind by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche which is available to purchase at the Center Bookstore.
