Saturday Class Topics & Dates

 

The Key to Harmonious & Meaningful Relationships

Saturday, September 23 | 10:30am - 11:45am

The key to harmonious and meaningful relationships comes in understanding the deeper purpose of our relationships. Often we look to our interplay with family and friends to supply us with love and happiness. However, from the spiritual perspective we understand that happiness comes from the peaceful and positive minds of love, compassion, kindness, patience, generosity and so on. It is precisely in our relationships – both the joyful and the more challenging ones – that we are afforded the opportunity to train in these happiness-creating minds. 

In this class we will look at the profound set of practices known as ‘training the mind’, designed by Buddha to enable us to transform all of our relationships into wonderful opportunities for making great spiritual progress. Applying this training will enable us to develop harmonious and meaningful relationships; first of all, with ourself, then with our family and friends, and eventually everyone!

 

How to Solve Our Human Problems

October 21st | 10:30am - 11:45am

In situations of conflict, we tend to become upset easily. We even think anger will help us ‘win our battles’, and we rely on it as if it were our trusted friend. The mind of anger, however, leaves a trail of broken relationships, lost opportunities, and painful feelings in its wake. There’s a reason for this.

During this talk we will explore Buddha’s illuminating and practical teachings on how to let go of anger. Putting these explanations into practice will enable us to transform the energy of anger into a centered, skillful and creative response that opens us up to resolutions and new possibilities.

 

How to Let Go of Insecurity

Saturday, November 18th | 10:30am - 11:45am

Many people think ‘I am an insecure person’ and everybody feels insecure from time to time. This insecurity undermines our happiness, our ability to be effective, and prevents us from being the confident, relaxed and beneficial person we all long to be.

Although we may have the habit of identifying ourself as insecure, no one is actually insecure by nature. In this special class we will explain how we can begin to connect to the underlying happiness and confidence that is our actual nature, and she will guide a meditation taking us into the experience of this peaceful and relaxed mind. It is this experience that will enable us to begin to let go of our mistaken insecurity and eventually be free of it altogether.

Understanding Karma: The Power to Change Your Life

Saturday, December 9th | 10:30am - 11:45am

Many people have some familiarity with the basic concept of "karma", but how can we use this knowledge to change our life and find deep and lasting happiness?

Through learning about the laws of karma and applying this knowledge in our daily life, we can transform all of our actions and choices into the path of happiness and good fortune. Join us for a thought-provoking series on this fundamental principle that shapes the Buddhist worldview. Everyone is welcome!
