meditationSaturday September 23rd 2017 10 am – 12 pm

The teaching will loosely follow this format, but Geshe la may adjust as needed:

Break
11 AM – Q/A and further instruction
11:45 AM – More practice as time permits

Samatha, means “calm, tranquil.” Samatha meditation is an effective, gentle way of training the mind to reduce negative and limiting thoughts. In practicing calm-abiding meditation, we can increase our ability to concentrate, control our over-active, unfocused minds and enjoy a sense of peace and tranquility.

This session will focus on practicing calm abiding meditation, and is suitable for beginners as well as those who participated in previously and would like to review the techniques.
