Introductory classes on Meditation & Buddhism with Buddhist monk, Gen Kelsang Atisha
The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind in peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances.
OPEN TO EVERYONE - JOIN ANY TIME! Each class is self contained and includes guided meditation, teachings, and discussion. No pre-registration required. Class fee is by donation.
Gen Kelsang Atisha
Our Resident Teacher
 In
January 2008, Geshe Kelsang appointed Gen Kelsang Atisha to be Resident
Teacher of Vajrarupini Center. Gen Atisha was ordained as a Buddhist
monk by Geshe Kelsang, and has studied under him since 1999.
The name 'Atisha', given to him by
his Spiritual Guide, means 'peace' and was also the name of the
11th-century founder of Kadampa Buddhism. Having
studied and meditated on Buddha's teachings extensively, Gen Atisha has
become a qualified meditation teacher, skilled in conveying the ancient
teachings of Buddha in the context of contemporary American society.
