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.

Wednesday Evening Book Club
The Seven-Point Mind Training
by B. Alan Wallace
Wednesdays
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
In Person & Zoom
In this society, with its hurly-burly pace demanding of our time, it is ever so easy to let life slip by. Looking back after ten, twenty, thirty, years—we wonder what we have really accomplished. The process of simply existing is not necessarily meaningful. And yet there is an unlimited potential for meaning and value in this human existence.
The Seven-Point Mind Training is one eminently practical way of tapping into that meaning. At the heart of the Seven-Point Mind Training lies the transformation of the circumstances that life brings us, however hard as the raw material from which we create our own spiritual path. The central theme of the Seven-Point Mind Training is to make the liberating passage from the constricting solitude of self-centeredness to the warm kinship with others which occurs with the cultivation of cherishing others.

Dharmakaya Study Group
Every Sunday in October, November
In Person
The Foundation of Buddhist Practice
by The Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron
Sundays, 9:00 am - 10:30 pm
The intention of this group is for Dharma friends to come together and discuss the various principles of Buddhist ideas in order to create a deeper understanding for our practice. We will be reading and discussing The Foundations of Buddhist Principles, volume two in the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series by His Holiness Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron.
The Foundation of Buddhist Practice describes the important teachings that will help us establish a flourishing Dharma practice.
Traditional presentations of the path in Tibetan Buddhism assume the audience already has faith in the Buddha and believes in rebirth and karma, but the Dalai Lama realized early on that a different approach was needed for his Western and contemporary Asian students. Starting with the four seals and the two truths, His Holiness illuminates key Buddhist ideas, such as dependent arising, emptiness, and karma, to support the reader in engaging with this rich tradition. This second volume in the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series provides a wealth of reflections on the relationship between a spiritual mentor and student, how to begin a meditation practice, and the relationship between the body and mind.
