Monday Evening Classes

Monday Evening Class

The Monday Evening Meditation Class takes place every week and is taught by Gen Rinzin, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Washington. This introduction to meditation and Buddhist psychology covers a variety of topics including how to overcome anger and develop patience, how to increase love and compassion, and how to apply Buddha’s wisdom teachings to daily life.

Although the class topics generally follow a series format, each is self-contained and you can benefit from attending any class. Feel free to drop into any class that fits your schedule. While meditation is something we can do on our own, it is wonderful to receive teachings and guidance from a supportive community!

Special Guest Teacher Monday, September 25th. 

Gen Kelsang Choma, Resident Teacher KMC San Francisco. 

Most of us know the feeling of our mind being out of control: bouncing back and forth between different thoughts, racing wildly when we wish we could settle down, or obsessing about something that makes us feel worse and worse. When it gets really bad, our mind can be like a wild elephant, causing massive destruction and upending our life.

Through practice and with support, we can change this situation. Through patiently developing our mindfulness, we will begin to develop a stable peace and happiness. Our mind will become flexible and comfortable. We will be able to maintain an attitude that promotes peace and happiness, and stop obsessive or anxious thoughts before they spiral out of control. Through this our life will become more meaningful and fulfilling, and we will be an uplifting force in the lives of those around us.

In this series, Gen Rinzin will explain practical meditation techniques to help us tame the wild elephant mind and experience a peaceful, happy mind throughout our life.

Everyone welcome!
