SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:The Magical Practice of Taking and Giving \n \n  \nThe material development of our society has not led to an increase in human happiness. This indicates that human happiness does not come from material development. Simple enough. In fact\, it might be said that dangers and unhappiness are increasing. Material development is not enough — everyone needs spiritual development. \nWe can uplift ourselves and our world by transforming our own mind. This month\, learn the simple but profound meditations on taking suffering out of the world and giving love\, happiness\, and peace to all living beings. \nThere are many nuances to the practice of the meditations on Taking and Giving\, so MKBC Resident Teacher Kadam Keli Vaughan will be sharing practical instructions from Venerable Geshe-la’s oral teachings and books on Wednesdays\, and Guest Teacher Robert Day will be doing the same on Thursdays. \n  \nDrop in to any or all classes in this course. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience.\n \nClass Fee $10 \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and brief prayers\, and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle\, whether in person or online. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84060006948

Material development is not enough — everyone needs spiritual development. \nWe can uplift ourselves and our world by transforming our own mind. This month\, learn the simple but profound meditations on taking suffering out of the world and giving love\, happiness\, and peace to all living beings. \nThere are many nuances to the practice of the meditations on Taking and Giving\, so MKBC Resident Teacher Kadam Keli Vaughan will be sharing practical instructions from Venerable Geshe-la’s oral teachings and books on Wednesdays\, and Guest Teacher Robert Day will be doing the same on Thursdays. \n  \nDrop in to any or all classes in this course. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience.\n \nClass Fee $10 \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and brief prayers\, and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience.
