This time of year can present a multitude of challenges to our mental health. With the pressures of the holidays, what we hope to be a joyful time of year can often result in stress, depression, irritation and loneliness. Join Buddhist nun, Kelsang Dechok, for this holiday series as we explore methods for overcoming holiday difficulties so that we can experience more peace of mind.
This General Program (GP) class is open to everyone regardless of previous experience or background. These classes provide a basic introduction to meditation and Buddha’s teachings that are suitable for beginners. The purpose of these classes is to help people gain a personal experience of inner peace, overcome daily problems, and find real lasting happiness from within. A typical class consists of a guided meditation, a teaching based on the meditation topic, a discussion and a final meditation.
The GP class is taught at every center for Modern Kadampa Buddhism and is an ideal starting point for those interested to find out more about the practical application of Buddhism and meditation to modern life.
All GP classes are open to everyone. Anyone, even non-Buddhists, can benefit from these classes, which include practical subjects such as how to use meditation to solve our anger problem, which lies at the root of many family problems. This activity is completely peaceful and joyful and is very important as protection against future suffering.
