These beginner meditation classes are perfect both for newcomers and for those with more experience. Buddhist meditation gives us direct insight into the causes of happiness within our mind and shows us how to cultivate them. We also learn what is meant by terms such as ‘letting go’, ‘acceptance’, and ‘transformation’, all of which are specific practices through which we stabilize our experience of happiness and overcome our tendencies towards unhappiness. In this way, we learn to integrate our training in happiness into our everyday activities. The emphasis of these open classes will be in gaining actual experience of these practices. This will vastly improve your life in all areas: work, school, home, and play.
