In these great drop-in classes, we will learn practical meditations that help us to solve our daily problems and make our lives more meaningful.
Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all. Problems, suffering and unhappiness do not exist outside the mind; they are feelings, and thus part of our mind. Therefore, it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make ourself and others truly happy.
The twenty-one meditations presented in this class are actual methods to overcome our negative, painful states of mind and instead experience inner peace. They are drawn from the Buddhist teachings on the path to enlightenment, or fulfilling our full potential. By practising these teachings we can experience lasting happiness and great meaning in our lives.
You can drop in for any or all of these great classes - each one is self-contained. Everybody's welcome!
The Wednesday evenings classes with Jeanne Paquin will resume in the fall, on Wed. Sept. 11, 7-8:30pm. New titles for those classes will be available here in the coming weeks.
The Teacher for this class is Jeanne Paquin, who has been practising and teaching Buddhist meditation classes for many years. Jeanne is very knowledgable, and her teachings are very practical and uplifting. She enjoys sharing her experience of meditation with others.
Wednesday Class
Whereas each one of us is just one single person, other living beings are countless in number; therefore the happiness and freedom of others are much more important than our own.
