Join us for a guided meditation and a teaching, followed by a group discussion.

This class is a great place for those with some prior experience of our meditation classes to have time to discuss the teachings and meditations more in depth. The discussion portion of class offers a unique opportunity to discuss with each other how to apply these teachings to our daily lives, and to deepen our understanding.

Our current 6-week series: The Precepts of Training the Mind, based on Universal Compassion by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
