Monday Morning Meditation Class 11am-12 noon
All You Need is Love
Buddha taught that we can easily cultivate true love and happiness in our hearts through meditation.
By learning to cherish others we gain the ability to solve our inner problems. With peace in our mind it is easy to love others and our relationships become more rewarding and long lasting. This course will focus on meditations that help us to become more peaceful and to relate to others in a positive and caring way.
“Cherishing others is not so difficult, all we need to do is to understand why we should cherish them, make a firm decision to do so, and then meditate repeatedly and sincerely on this decision.” – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

"I am finding the Simply Meditate classes this week extremely meaningful. This morning I concentrated on all the people I have had disagreements with and I realised how destructive my delusions have been in the past. I hope that I have reached a point were I will never give in so strongly to this anger again. I fell so fortunate to have Kadampa Dharma in my life

Tuesday evening zoom class
"Learnt from this evening's class on impermanence that you can enjoy something that you know will be impermanent, e.g. a rainbow, because you know it will disappear. This can be applied to all manner of situation"

Class participant
"Good morning and thank you once again for some wonderful, life enhancing tutoring Gen Kelsang Gen Kelsang Tubchen. After yesterday’s class I made a sincere effort to unblock my heart and to try to start developing genuine equanimity. So far I found this uplifting and genuinely liberating. I am thinking less about why people act as they do and letting so much go from my mind. A little effort does help and I hope I can continue to develop with today’s class. 🤗"
