INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS - CANCELED Tues Aug 18

Note from Linda to students:  I'm so disappointed and sorry to cancel the last class of the "Intro to Mindfulness" course.  Unfortunately, I had emergency surgery to remove my appendix on Saturday.  All went well and I am now home recovering.  I greatly enjoyed our time together exploring and learning about mindfulness, including the benefits of cultivating mindfulness according to the Gelug tradition of Mahayana Buddhism.  I wish you continued happiness and growth along your spiritual journey.  Please find access to the course materials below and don't hesitate to reach out (program.linda@kadampa-center.org) if you have lingering questions from class.  OM MANI PADME HUM

~ offered in person and online ~

Introduction to Mindfulness is an FPMT introductory course presenting mindfulness and the different meditative techniques for cultivating this quality, which may lead to greater calmness and a better understanding of our own habitual reactions.  While this 5-week course does not have a prerequistie, it is recommended for students who already have a meditation practice or have some meditation experience, such as those who have completed the FPMT Buddhist Meditation 101 course.

HOW TO ATTEND CLASS

  1. In person at Kadampa Center ~ the best, most beneficial way to attend

  2. Join via Zoom ~ a good alternative for those who don't live locally

  3. Livestream on YouTube ~ a non-interactive choice
