Learn to Meditate

Normally we seek happiness outside ourselves. We try to obtain better material conditions, a better job, higher social status and so forth. But no matter how successful we are in improving our external situation, we still experience many problems and much dissatisfaction. We never experience pure, lasting happiness. This shows us that we should not seek happiness outside ourself but instead establish it within by purifying and controlling our mind through sincere spiritual practice. If we train in this way we can ensure that our mind remains calm and happy all the time. Then, no matter how difficult our external circumstances may be, we will always be happy and peaceful.

The meditation classes offered at Tushita Buddhist Center combine guided meditation with practical advice on how to reduce stress and solve problems in daily life. Taught by Westerners, the meditation classes are very easy to understand and are suitable for both beginners as well as advanced meditation practitioners.

A regular meditation practice has many benefits:

    * Helps overcome stress, anxiety and worry
    * Brings inner calm and a sense of peace and well-being
    * Increases our wisdom so that we know how to solve our problems
    * Helps us deal with difficult people and situations
    * Shows us that authentic happiness is found within
    * Gives our life meaning and purpose
    * Teaches us how to care for others with kindness

Everyone is welcome, and although the classes are taught as a series, you can drop in at any time; there is no pre-registration necessary. Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you soon.
