HOW TO FIND LASTING HAPPINESS

The modern world has brought tremendous material development, yet many still experience mental dissatisfaction, anxiety and depression.  Over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha discovered a means for lasting happiness through inquiry and meditation.  The very same methods that he used to attain enlightenment have been taught and practiced for centuries but are still relevant in today’s age.  Please join us as Ven. Tenzin Namjong provides a special three-day program on how to find lasting happiness.  He will give an introduction to Buddhist meditation and practice, suitable for any experience level.
 

Born and raised in Hawaii, Venerable Tenzin Namjong studied and trained in Zen and Theravada Buddhist traditions before embracing the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, due mainly to the kindness of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Lama Zopa Rinpoche. He holds a B.A. in Philosophy from Princeton University and has been part of the 19-year Geshe (Doctorate of Buddhist Philosophy) study program at Sera Je Monastery in Bylakuppe in South India since 2007. Venerable Namjong is a registered teacher of the FPMT and regularly teaches at FPMT centers around the world.

Suggested Donation of $10.00 per Saturday or Sunday session
(No one turned away for lack of funds.)

Meditation 101
​
Buddhism in a Nutshell


​ 
Every Other Sunday 
​11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

In Person  

Picture

​Buddhism in a Nutshell and Meditation 101 are introductory courses that provides an overview of Tibetan Buddhist concepts and meditation. 
​
​ It begins with an introduction to the life of Shakyamuni Buddha and then discusses the Buddha’s first teaching on The Four Noble Truths: the truths of suffering, the cause of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the path to the cessation of suffering. This teaching is common to all Buddhist traditions and forms the cornerstone for all the other teachings given by the Buddha.

It also provides an overview of Tibetan Buddhism based on the three principal aspects of the path to enlightenment—renunciation, bodhichitta, and the right view of emptiness—as taught in the stages of the path teachings and based on the short text 'Foundation of All Good Qualities' by, Lama Tsong Khapa.  The course also provides the foundations of meditation practice and five guided meditations suitable for beginners

​Meditation is an effective, yet simple, way of dealing with many stresses in life. There is a growing body of scientific evidence of meditation being highly effective at reducing physical and mental stress.

Every week we focus on one topic on the Lam Rim using excellent meditations from Kathleen McDonalds' "How to Meditate" that are suitable for anyone interested in exploring and incorporating the benefits of meditation into their daily lives, regardless of whether you are a Buddhist practitioner or not.
