Shantideva Center welcomes meditation teacher Stephan Pende as he leads an in-depth guided reading of the Dalai Lama's book How to See Yourself as You Really Are–which is actually a tightly focused and clear meditation program for learning to see the world and ourselves as we actually exist, without the overlay of false imagination.
In this four-session course, we explore how to cultivate and sustain a meditation practice. Establishing an enduring practice, one that leads to lasting happiness, requires sustained effort.
Stephan offers guidance learning to slow down, cultivate radical acceptance, establish a healthy meditation practice and bring mindfulness into your daily life and relationships.
This program explores a practical path of transformation by being present with our pain, fear, and aversion. Mindfulness exercises and emptiness meditation are included along with reminders of how the Buddha practiced to help us move through these less than comfortable states.
Ven. Robina Courtin explores the concept "The Workshop is in The Mind". As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says, the workshop is in the mind. Combined with inner work, we learn to abide by the natural law of karma, which strengthens our confidence that we are the creators of our own reality and that there’s no karma that can’t be changed.
Explore the three higher trainings of Buddhism and how they lead to deep, everlasting peace.
Learn about All-encompassing Yoga Mind, a concise yet extremely profound set of meditational instructions, enables sincerely motivated seekers to gradually experience progressively deeper levels of spiritual transformation and fulfillment.
In this two-day workshop, Venerable investigates the impermanent nature of our body, feelings, mind, and phenomena. By being mindful of the impermanent nature of things, we connect with reality itself. We learn how to be comfortable with change and go with the flow.
This short course is a part of the FPMT "Buddhist Mind Science: Activating Your Potential" series that focuses on meditation and the mind to provide insight and practical techniques on meditation, the mechanisms of suffering and happiness, finding mental balance, and how to discover and develop our potential for compassion and wisdom. The presentation is in harmony with a comparative modern scientific perspective.
Join us to explore the intersection of modern psychology and the Buddhist contemplative methods that increase our sense of well-being, meaning and purpose and deal with our disturbing emotions.
