Monday Night Livestream + Replay Option

Monday 7:30pm - 9:00pm

4953 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90027

January 18 Introduction to Buddhist Meditation
January 25 Introduction to Kadampa Buddhism

Coming up in February… The Emptiness of Identity

The Confidence to Become Who You Wish to Be

Feb 1 The Emptiness of Identity- Public Talk
Feb 8 Embrace the Reality of Impermanence
Feb 15 Tune Into the Endless Space of Emptiness
Feb 22 Create the Person You Wish to Be
March 1 Become the Person the World Needs You to Be
March 8 The Four Powers of Change

Who we are is not fixed. In fact, Buddha explained that our sense of self depends upon many different factors, principally our own mind.

As the world changes around us, sometimes in scary and unsettling ways, now more than ever we need the confidence to embrace the forces of change and channel them in a positive direction.

Through meditating on subtle impermanence, we can let go of the past and open ourselves up to the possibility of real change that lies before us.

Through meditating on the true nature of reality, emptiness, we let go of the ordinary, limited self we currently relate to, and access a space of possibility, creativity and joy.

During this course, we will gain first-hand experience of the power of these precious meditations to transform our life so that we can bring real benefit to ourselves and others.
