Description

In the fast pace of our work and personal lives, our attention is easily scattered and our mind is cluttered with endless distractions. Training in mindfulness gives us the power to overcome disturbing thoughts and the ability to stay focused on what brings peace of mind. The benefits of meditation are endless. Learning to gradually familiarize our mind with virtue makes us peaceful, calm, and happy. Here are just a few reasons why you’ll want to try meditation for yourself …

1. Your normally incessant flow of distracting thoughts will be calmed through concentration.

2. You’ll experience inner peace, contentment, and deep happiness just by controlling your mind, without having to rearrange your external situation. This feeling of contentment and well-being will help you to cope with the busyness and difficulties of daily life.

3. You’ll be able to reduce stress and tension, the cause of many different types of illness and physical problems.

4. Difficult situations will become easier to deal with and your relationships with others will gradually improve.

Our meditation classes are designed with beginners in mind. People from all walks of life attend our classes. You do not need to be Buddhist to attend. Everyone is welcome.
