A powerful truth to understand is that our thoughts shape our world. They influence how we feel, how we experience ourselves and others, and ultimately how we navigate life. By learning to think in healthier ways, we can naturally begin to feel better—gaining the inner strength to handle daily challenges and the ability to support those around us with greater understanding and compassion
These classes each include two guided meditations and a practical talk. These are drop-in classes, so you can attend any or all of them. No previous meditation experience is necessary.
These recorded weekly classes are taught by Buddhist monk & 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 25 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.

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