Meditation & Buddhist Wisdom
for a Happy Life
7-Week Series of Thursday Evening Classes with Gen Kelsang Chodor
Join us in our inspirational Thursday evening classes, where we will explore meditation techniques to cultivate positive intentions and harness the power of Buddhist wisdom. These classes will nurture deeper inner peace, mental freedom, and a clear sense of purpose within our lives. They will also offer the opportunity to create a positive mental attitude for the week ahead.
The classes are based on the books, How to Transform Your Life & The New Meditation Handbook, written by the fully accomplished meditation master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Each class in the series is self-contained, so you are welcome to join at any point. Each class is followed by complimentary refreshments and the opportunity to ask questions. We also have many books and materials available to help you deepen your understanding and meditation experience through further reading.
You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend, and no previous experience of meditation is required. Everybody is welcome!
