Meditation and dharma classes are held a few times per week on a variety of topics such as deepening relationships, developing patience, reducing anger, and forming a practice. Although the classes are based on Buddhist teachings, you don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit from the practicality and practice of meditation.
During this period of shelter-in-place and physical distancing, our classes are virtual and at reduced fee. We also have a donation option for anyone experiencing financial difficulties. All are welcome, no one will be turned away.

The Amazing Meditation for Healing Body and Mind
With Gen Kelsang ChogyopThe meditation known as Taking and Giving, in Tibetan "tonglen", has been used for centuries as a healing meditation. Not only is this meditation legendary for its physical healing properties, it is also a powerful method for healing painful mental tendencies such as insecurity, anger and hurt.
Taking and Giving practice gives rise to innumerable benefits, including boosting positive energy, purifying the mind and in particular enabling us to deal skillfully and peacefully with our daily challenges. Gen Chogyop will introduce us to this amazing practice – which is quite simple and can be practiced by anyone – and then in this 6-week series, take us deeper and deeper into this beautiful and life-enhancing method.

- Dealing with Frustration and AngerDharmachakra Kadampa Buddhist Center, Millburn, NJ$15.00
Dealing with Frustration and Anger
With ArjunWhen things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we responded to difficult situations with a positive mind, they would not be problems for us. Eventually, we might even regard them as opportunities for growth. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind.
Classes build as a series; each one stands alone, and drop-ins are welcome.
