Awakening the Buddha Within
Drop-in Thursdays, from 7:30 to 8:45pm

Buddhism teaches that each of us has the wisdom, love, compassion and power of a Buddha within, yet this remains untapped.  This series of teachings and meditations will help us awaken that potential by revealing the trainings of a Bodhisattva.  A Bodhisattva is a friend of the world who out of compassion for all living beings, strives to awaken the Buddha within.  The path of the Bodhisattva is contained within a practice called the six perfections. In this series we will learn how to develop the best intentions for benefiting others; love and compassion and then we will learn how to practice six trainings; giving, moral discipline, patience, effort, concentration and wisdom both in & out of meditation. This is essential advice for those wishing to follow a way of life characterized by greater empathy and compassion for others.

These classes are suitable for everyone.

Each class includes 2 guided meditations and a teaching.  You can attend any or all of these great classes - each class is self-contained. Everybody is welcome!

As conscientious Dharma practitioners, we should observe our own shortcomings instead of being preoccupied with those of other people.
