Whenever you find yourself complaining about aging. Or that you don’t look like you did when you were in your twenties. Think about people who live short lives. Ones who don’t make it to seven years old. Life is precious! You’re very fortunate to grow old.

Gen Tenzin has returned for a NEW DROP-IN SERIES:

Meditations for Staying Positive in Challenging Times: How to Solve Our Human Problems

Everyone is welcome!

Learning to distinguish between unpeaceful states of mind and peaceful, positive states is essential if we want to experience happiness in our future. In Buddhism, negative states of mind such as anger, jealousy, or desirous attachment are called “delusions” and function only to disturb our inner peace. The essence of Dharma practice is to reduce and eventually to completely eradicate this negativity in our minds, replacing it with peaceful, positive, and virtuous states. This is the main purpose of training in meditation.

Join us for this weekly drop-in series and discover powerful tools to help you gain control over your own mind and actions. Learn how training in meditation gives us the inner freedom and clarity we need in order to find peaceful and constructive solutions to our daily problems.
