In this busy world, our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled anger and frustration create endless problems for ourselves and others, and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. Buddha gave extensive teachings on the mind of anger and how to overcome it. Join us for this Saturday workshop with Noreen Flack, Resident Teacher, as she shares Buddhist wisdom for overcoming this painful mind.

The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment meditations (or Lamrim in Tibetan) are a condensation of all Buddha's teachings that is easy to understand and put into practice, enabling us to gain deep meditative insights of every step of our journey to the supreme permanent peace of mind that is enlightenment. Through employing the very special practical presentation of these meditations by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in his book The Mirror of Dharma with Additions, we will definitely accomplish the real meaning of our precious human life.

This morning workshop invites us to discover the beauty and symbolism woven throughout Buddhist art. In the first session, we’ll contemplate the deeper meaning behind sacred images of the Buddhas. In the second, we’ll explore the rich significance of the Eight Auspicious Symbols—timeless expressions of wisdom and good fortune.

Join us for one or both sessions.

This Wednesday afternoon practice involves extensive prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden. A Dharma Protector is an emanation of a Buddha or Bodhisattva whose main functions are to avert the inner and outer obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining spiritual realizations and to arrange all the necessary conditions for their practice.

This puja lasts for 3 1/2 hrs and will be dedicated to the swift and successful construction of our new space in the Mueller neighborhood. Please joins us for some or all of the prayers.
