Step away from distraction and immerse yourself in the stillness of silence. Through silence, reflection, and gentle guidance, you will discover how to let go of mental busyness and tap into a deeper, more spacious awareness.

In this profound meditation retreat, we will meditate on the clarity of the very subtle mind according to Buddha’s Mahamudra teachings. Through training in this clear and joyful meditation on our root mind we gain the ability to easily pacify our mental disturbances and distractions, and we create powerful causes to experience deep and stable inner peace and concentration.

Suitable for all levels, this retreat provides a rare opportunity to improve our concentration and cultivate lasting inner peace – the real source of happiness.

Awakening in an Imperfect World
Tuesday Meditation Class 7pm-8:15pm

The world has always been imperfect, yet throughout history people have discovered profound freedom and inner peace even in the midst of suffering, conflict, and uncertainty. Buddha showed us that lasting freedom does not depend upon creating a perfect world around us, but upon transforming the mind that experiences it. By understanding what keeps us bound to suffering and learning to let go of anger, attachment, and ignorance, we can awaken our mind’s extraordinary potential for wisdom, compassion, and happiness.

What if the person we’re angry with isn’t actually the enemy?

We’ve all said or done things in anger that we later regret. Gen Jindak, Resident Teacher of KMC Fort Lauderdale, shares a powerful perspective: our real enemy isn’t another person—it’s the anger in our own mind. ❤️
