The classes will follow The New Meditation Handbook, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. The
meditations presented in this book are meditation instructions for changing our ordinary views and intentions into the supreme views and intentions of an enlightened being. Gradually through listening, contemplating and meditating on these “Lamrim” teachings we progress through 21 stages of the path to spiritual fulfillment. In this way we improve ourselves in every way, increasing our loving kindness and wisdom – the two wings that will fly us to a state of supreme bliss and ultimate wisdom. Included are such teachings as:
Our Precious Human Life, Karma, The Kindness of Living Beings, Cherishing Love, Equanimity, Compassion, Ultimate Truth, Tranquil Abiding meditations…see The New Meditation Handbook and Joyful Path of Good Fortune as detailed guides to accompany the class.
Gen Kelsang Dema, Buddhist nun and Resident Teacher at Akshobya KBC teaches the classes which include instructions on general meditation, a teaching on one of the 21 Lamrim subjects, a contemplation/meditation followed by refreshments.
