The Purpose of Meditation in Buddhism

This class is at Stone Pine Hall in Lompoc, CA.

Meditation has become widely popular in the few years because of the proven health and wellness benefits for people who meditate regularly. But the Buddha taught meditation, not merely as a temporary solution for anxiety, or for greater productivity, or even for increased mindfulness of a fleeting “present moment” —  but to completely transform the inner landscape of our mind by cultivating special attitudes that make our mind peaceful.

In this half-day workshop we will identify how to begin an authentic Buddhist meditation practice by using methods that deepen our familiarity with the peace that arises from holding special attitudes for longer and longer periods of time.

Cost of this event is $20 per person or Bring A Friend for $30.
