If our mind is pure\, nothing can keep us from fulfilling our spiritual wishes. \nWhen human beings develop a sincere wish to purify negative karma in their own mind\, all the Buddhas appear as Buddha Vajrasattva. Vajrasattva’s path is the practice of taking stock of one’s own negative actions and promising to improve. Our Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan will give an introduction to Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva on Friday\, December 23. \n  \n \n  \nThis special retreat opportunity is perfect for anyone wishing to make their Christmas holiday align with their wish to purify negative habits and tendencies.

SUMMARY:Foundation Program
DESCRIPTION:We are studying How to Understand the Mind by living Buddhist Master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This book offers us deep insight into our mind\, and shows us how an understanding of its nature and functions can be used practically in everyday experience to improve our lives. \n  \nThrough systematic study and meditation on this program we can deepen our understanding and insight of Buddhaâ&#128;&#153;s teachings\, gain confidence in our meditation practice\, and transform our lives by transforming our own mind. By learning to understand our own experiences of difficulty\, problems\, and suffering\, we will be better able to support to those around us\, and impact their lives in a more positive\, meaningful way. \n  \nThis study program requires enrollment\, with a commitment to attend scheduled classes. Classes meet on Tuesday nights. Please click here to see Winter/Spring 2022 schedule. \n  \nPlease ask to speak with our Education Program Coordinator\, Mindy Thomas\, or Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan for information about enrollment.
