NEW SERIES! Understanding Karma: The Wisdom of Cause and Effect
with Kadam Donna Campanelli
Sunday Mornings, 10:30am -12:00pm

Although the concept of karma is widely known, it is often misunderstood or remains a mystery to many. In his teachings on karma, Buddha revealed the true nature of this universal law - known as the wisdom of cause and effect. Using precise logic and wisdom, Buddha explained how all our actions of body, speech, and mind are causes and all our experiences are their effects in our daily life.

The law of karma explains why each individual has a unique mental disposition, a unique physical appearance, and unique experiences. Through understanding these universal principles and learning how to recognize karma functioning in our daily lives we can understand our past and gain real confidence in our ability to change our future.This wisdom is important for everyone because we all want to be free from problems and experience lasting happiness!

Everyone welcome! Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.

Our center is run entirely by volunteers, and last weekend Debbie and Mayra, our precious managers, had the opportunity to spend time training with fellow Admin Directors and Education Program Coordinators.

It was truly inspiring to see them gather with such a dedicated community, all working together to support the flourishing of Kadampa centers around the world.

Understanding and Transforming Suffering:
Teaching and Meditations on the Four Noble Truths.
with Kadam Donna Campanelli
Wednesday Evenings, 7:00pm -8:30pm

Whether it’s everyday stress, sadness, or even anger, our suffering can be transformed into inner strength, love, and joy. The first step is understanding its source; does it come from the body, the mind, or somewhere else? And if we understand it, can it be removed?

In this series, we’ll explore Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths, which clearly explain both the problem of suffering and its solution. Through teachings and meditation, we’ll discover that suffering comes not from external conditions, but from our own mind. Recognizing this opens the door to transforming our experience and uncovering a more lasting, genuine happiness.

Everyone welcome! Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
