SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:Class Fee $10 – Overcoming Anxiety\n \n  \nEveryone from time to time experiences anxiety. It’s a feeling in the mind – no more\, no less – but sometimes it’s so strong it can affect our physical well being. Instead of letting anxiety call the shots\, what if we reverse-engineer it by simply stopping the thoughts that give rise to it? What if we think in new ways? Learning to focus on something that makes our mind peaceful is what it means to practice meditation. \n\nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the eveningâ&#128;&#153;s topic. There is no requirement to attend the the whole series. \n\nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:Class Fee $10 – The Emptiness of the â&#128;&#156;Iâ&#128;&#157; \n\n\nWhat if the â&#128;&#156;Iâ&#128;&#157; we cherish and spend so much time and energy protecting is nothing more than an idea? In this series of meditation classes we will learn a traditional Buddhist meditation on the emptiness of the I. \nFar from being a mere intellectual exercise\, the practice of this meditation creates an experience of freedom from anxiety and worry â&#128;&#147; and ultimately leads to the realization of the true nature of things: everything\, including our I\, or self\, exists as mere name. \n  \nDrop in to any or all classes in this course. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. \n\nÂ  \n\nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the eveningâ&#128;&#153;s topic. There is no requirement to attend the the whole series. \n\nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle.

SUMMARY:Powa Prayers
DESCRIPTION:  \nThrough practicing transference of consciousness — known as ‘powa’ — with faith\, compassion\, and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The Powa Ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons\, or countless deceased beings. By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue\, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. \nAll chanted prayers are free.

It’s a feeling in the mind – no more\, no less – but sometimes it’s so strong it can affect our physical well being. Instead of letting anxiety call the shots\, what if we reverse-engineer it by simply stopping the thoughts that give rise to it? What if we think in new ways? Learning to focus on something that makes our mind peaceful is what it means to practice meditation. \n\nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the eveningâ&#128;&#153;s topic. There is no requirement to attend the the whole series. \n\nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle.

SUMMARY:Powa Prayers
DESCRIPTION:  \nThrough practicing transference of consciousness — known as ‘powa’ — with faith\, compassion\, and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The Powa Ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons\, or countless deceased beings. By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue\, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. \nAll chanted prayers are free.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:Class Fee $10 – Overcoming Anxiety\n \n  \nEveryone from time to time experiences anxiety. It’s a feeling in the mind – no more\, no less – but sometimes it’s so strong it can affect our physical well being. Instead of letting anxiety call the shots\, what if we reverse-engineer it by simply stopping the thoughts that give rise to it? What if we think in new ways? Learning to focus on something that makes our mind peaceful is what it means to practice meditation. \n\nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the eveningâ&#128;&#153;s topic. There is no requirement to attend the the whole series. \n\nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle.
