The Freedom of Emptiness
A Meditation Journey

Tuesday Drop-in classes with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chodor
Mar 18, 25, Apr 1, 8, 15 & 22

Is the world as real as we think it is? Buddha taught that the world is “empty” of existence from its own side, yet we rarely question the way things appear to us. We assume that the world exists independently, separate from our mind—but this could not be further from the truth.

In this inspiring meditation course, we will explore the profound wisdom of emptiness, discovering how our mind plays an essential role in shaping our experience of reality. By deepening our understanding of this truth, we can free ourselves from limiting perceptions, dissolve negative emotions, and uncover a vast, unshakable inner peace.

Through guided meditations and practical teachings, you will learn how to integrate the wisdom of emptiness into daily life—transforming challenges, relationships, and even your sense of self. Experience the freedom and joy that come from seeing the world as it truly is!

In this 6-week meditation series, we will explore meditations on ultimate truth, emptiness. Each session will guide us deeper into this profound wisdom:

Tranquil Abiding Meditation

Tuesday Drop-in classes with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chodor
Jan 7, 14, 21 & 28

In this series of four classes, we will explore how to enhance our ability to achieve deep mental stillness in meditation. Through nurturing this skill, we can let go of distractions and discover an inner calm and stillness like that of the depths of an ocean.

Before we develop concentration we feel some kind of mental and physical discomfort more or less all the time. Our state of mind quickly changes. For a short while we are happy, but then we are sad. Our physical condition also changes quickly. In the morning we may feel well, but by the evening we may be feeling sick. When we attain tranquil abiding we do not experience any mental or physical discomfort. Our mind becomes peaceful and we are always able to generate virtuous thoughts and feelings and create the causes for happiness.

Tuesday Drop-in Class ~ Essential Insights Into The Buddha of Compassion Practice

Essential Insights Into The Buddha of Compassion Practice

Tuesday Drop-in classes with Kadampa Teacher Sandra Lewis

In this three-week course, we will explore the key meditations from the Buddha of Compassion practice. Avalokiteshvara, known as the Buddha of Compassion, is an enlightened being who embodies the compassion of all the Buddhas. By connecting with him, we can awaken our own compassionate heart.

The meditation practices we’ll learn can help us in very practical ways. We all face challenges in life, such as dealing with anger, desire or confusion. These meditations will teach us how to calm our minds and gain control over these emotions, allowi us to handle our daily problems more effectively.

But this isn’t just about improving our own lives. Once we develop the ability to manage our emotions and think clearly, we can begin to guide and help others too. By sharing our inner peace and good heart, we can help people around the world discover a spiritual path that leads to a deeper understanding of life’s true purpose. In this way, we don’t just help ourselves – we contribute to the happiness and well-being of others as well.

The Three Principal Aspects The Path:
The Correct View of Emptiness

Tuesday Drop-in classes with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chodor

Many people are familiar with meditation, but few know how to practice it correctly and effectively in a way that has a profound, positive impact on the mind.

In this series of classes, based on the teachings of the meditation master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, we will discover how to meditate effectively and apply this knowledge to gain deep insights into the three principal aspects of the path to enlightenment.

These three principal aspects—renunciation, Bodhichitta, and the correct view of emptiness—are Buddhist meditation topics rich in wisdom that guide us towards true happiness, open our hearts, and liberate us from negative and confused states of mind.
