Kadampa Meditation Center Florida

New! Beginning Monday, March 4! Meditations on Loving Kindness with Prayers for World Peace is a meditation class that gives us the opportunity to develop a warm and loving heart. Classes include two guided meditations, a talk and inspiring prayers for world peace
Each week, we will learn methods from Buddha to help us to cultivate a mindset of love and kindness and prevent and resolve problems in our lives.
By learning to cherish others we can experience greater peace of mind and help to establish world peace in general. In addition, through contemplating these prayers compiled by Geshe Kelsang from traditional sources, we learn to cherish others.
If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish others, then gradually through the power of this prayer, everyone will actually cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and pure and everlasting happiness will pervade the entire world.
Class is by donation, drop-ins welcome!

Meditations to Make Our Life Happy and Meaningful
The Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, or “Lamrim”, is a sophisticated, practical presentation of Buddhist teachings, which is designed to help us improve and grow in a deliberate and joyful way. Over 1000 years ago the Buddhist sage Atisha consolidated the 84,000 teachings of Buddha into the Lamrim, which are 21 essential meditations, revolutionizing the practice of Buddha’s teachings. Since then, Lamrim has flourished throughout the world and it perfectly fits within our modern lifestyle. It is simple, scientific, and incredibly potent.
The Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings.
In this class, we will go one-by-one through the Lamrim, drawing out how we can personally use these meditations and create our own meditation practice. There will be a special emphasis on the art of meditation and how to really make our meditations effective.
