These classes will offer profound and practical meditation techniques to help develop and maintain a peaceful mind in all situations. They're open to everyone and are self-contained, so feel free to attend either or both.
Each class will include two guided meditations and a practical talk. Afterwards there will be time for Q&A.
CLASS SCHEDULE
Dec 4 ~ The Joy of Giving
Dec 18 ~ Bringing Peace Home for the Holidays
After the holiday break, classes will resume on Thurs Jan 22. The new series topics will be announced on this webpage early in January.
Each class is self-contained, so you're welcome to join at any time. No previous experience with meditation is necessary. You don’t need to bring anything with you, since we sit in chairs to meditate. However, you're welcome to bring a meditation cushion to sit on, if you prefer.
Everybody is welcome!
These classes are taught by Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Thekchen, who is a Kadampa Buddhist monk & senior Teacher in the New Kadampa Tradition. He has been a Teacher under the guidance of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche for more than 30 years. Gen Thekchen has taught widely in Canada and in the UK, and is now the Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Centre Ottawa. He is well known for his ability to present Buddha's teachings in a practical, profound and often humorous way, making them very accessible and easy to practise in everyday life.
