TUESDAYS
Talk & Meditation:
The Inner Science of Meditation
Meditation is an inner science. By comparison with outer science, which for all its great benefits, brings many dangers and conflicts, inner science brings only peace and never any danger. In this series you will learn:
-
Why meditation is an inner science
-
How to develop a positive, peaceful state of mind
-
How to increase your confidence that happiness is possible
The inner science of meditation is geared towards fulfilling our deepest wish, which is our wish for happiness. Learn how we can apply the practice of meditation and Buddhist psychology to our life, and thereby discover real happiness from within our own mind.
Each class is self-contained and will feature two meditations, one at the beginning and one at the end. Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
Everyone is welcome.

Don't Worry, Be Happy
Worrying is easy. What we don’t often realize is that it also ruins our happiness.
Rob will give teachings and guide meditations that lead to mental well-being, peace and happiness, even when life is very difficult. He will explain how we can permanently solve all our suffering and problems – our unpleasant feelings – and accomplish the real meaning of our human life through receiving Buddha's teachings. Each week you will receive practical advice that you can put into practice immediately. Over time, these new understandings will not only enrich our life, but have life changing results. How fortunate we are!

TUESDAYS Intro to Buddhism
& Meditations for Inner Peace & World Peace
with Nan Fleming
Buddhism teaches that our mind has incredible power, and through training in meditation we can develop deep inner peace and happiness from a pure internal source. This can help us not only to change our own experience of life, but also to positively influence the people around us, our environment, and in turn the whole world. Now more than ever we need to understand these powerful teachings, take them to heart, and put them into practice, for our own benefit and for the benefit of others.

with Sarah Paden
Current Series Topic: Opposing Anger
The sufferings of anger are undeniable. The presence of anger in our hearts and in our lives is a tragic reality. Yet there is a true path away from anger, and that is patience. Anger is a negative habit of mind, but patience is a positive habit of mind, a skill—something to hone to your satisfaction. Let us become skillful in opposing anger and free our minds to experience more generous states of patience, love and compassion. Each week we will explore different strategies to oppose anger.
