Monday Evening Meditation Class:

Lamrim Meditation


Buddhist meditation transforms our mind into a positive state and gives our life great meaning. It improves the quality of our life on many levels – our relationships, our family, our work, and our physical and emotional well being - while guiding our life towards the pure happiness and freedom of spiritual fulfillment.

Learn the essential meditations of Buddhism in this weekly class with Susan Prentice and Buddhist nun Kelsang Evam.

Each class focuses on a particular meditation in the Buddhist path, using the special sequence of “Lamrim meditations” of Kadampa Buddhism. Lamrim means the “stages of the path to enlightenment” and condenses all of Buddha’s teachings into a systematic presentation ideal for modern daily meditation practice.
