Everyone is welcome to join these weekly classes on meditation and modern Buddhism.

These classes include both meditations and teachings based on Buddha’s wisdom that can help us to stay peaceful, even in the most challenging times. Current series topic:

The Power of Imagination: Charge up your meditation practice: The Preciousness of Tantra

How is it possible for something that exists only in our imagination to become a reality? It is a remarkable quality of the mind that we first create objects with our imagination and then bring them into our everyday reality. In fact, everything starts in the imagination.  Through meditation, we can bring our wish for freedom from suffering and  lasting peace and happiness into existence.
