WEDNESDAY MEDITATION CLASS

WEDNESDAYS 7PM - 8:15PM

in person | livestream for members

A five - week series beginning April 2

How to Solve Our Human Problems

Take the opportunity to join us for our meditation classes to deepen our meditation experience.

Through contemplating Buddha’s popular teaching on the Four Noble Truths, which offers a clear and simple solution to all our problems, we can be guided to an oasis of peace within our hearts.

In particular, through contemplation and meditation we can overcome the problem of anger, learning how to develop and maintain patience when faced with even the most difficult circumstances.

Each class presents a new topic with new contemplations and meditations for our training in overcoming anger and developing patience.


Topics include:

  • Where do our problems come from?
  • The Noble Truths – The Truth will set us free
  • The Faults of Anger
  • Why we get angry

Each class is a stand-alone class that is part of a series of classes. You do not need to attend the full series to benefit from these classes.
