In these meditation classes, you will learn the foundations of Buddhist philosophy and meditation practice, which can help us maintain a positive perspective on life and approach everyday challenges with greater clarity and calm. These teachings are based on the book “How to Transform Your Life” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
The classes offer step-by-step guidance on the Buddhist path to inner peace in a way that is accessible and practical for everyone, regardless of background or experience.
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.
After each class, there is time for Q&A. No experience of meditation is necessary. Everyone is welcome!
There will be a free introductory Public Talk on Sun Jan 11, from 10:00-11:15am, called "What is Modern Kadampa Buddhism? Finding Peace in the Digital Age".
Adele will share a Buddhist perspective on how to develop our capacity to find genuine peace and contentment while living in this ever-evolving digital age. Discover how to develop an inner space of calm through the power of our own thoughts, and how to live with technology without being ruled by it.

St. Johns' classes
These wonderful weekly classes are led by Adele Chatterton, a resident of St. John's who has been practicing Kadampa Buddhism for over 20 years. Adele presents the teachings in a practical and light way, making it easy to integrate them into daily life.
As conscientious Dharma practitioners, we should observe our own shortcomings instead of being preoccupied with those of other people.
