Teacher
LJ teaches from a wealth of understanding and experience from applying Buddha's teachings to modern busy life.
May Series
These classes will look at developing a path to inner peace in our mind, which will increase our concentration and our capacity for spiritual practice through meditation.
Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, appeared in this world in 624 BC. Just as doctors give different medicine to people with different illnesses, so Buddha gave different teachings to people with different problems and capacities. We will be looking at all of the stages of the path to permanent inner peace and enlightenment. This path is called the Stages of the Path or Lamrim meditations and come directly from Buddha himself.

June Series
Since cherishing myself is the door to all faults
And cherishing mother beings is the foundation of all good qualities,
I seek your blessings to take as my essential practice
The yoga of exchanging self with others.
These two verses summarize the actual practice of exchanging self with others. Buddhas have attained enlightenment by abandoning self-cherishing and cherishing only others, and so they are able to work continuously for others. During this special set of June classes, you will receive teachings and guided meditations on the practice of Exchanging Self with Others. This yoga is one of the most important and practical of all of Buddha’s teachings.
By training our mind to be more aware of the happiness and well being of others, and meditating on this precious mind, we have the ability to change the way we see and interact with others in our daily life and in our world. In this way, we will solve all of our problems and we will experience deep inner peace.
