Monday Introductory Classes

Transforming Adverse Conditions

Monday night classes

7-9pm May 11th through June 15th

In these modern times, difficulties surround us, making it hard for us to maintain a peaceful mind or to make spiritual progress. Understanding this situation, the great Kadampa Teachers of the past revealed special methods to turn problems into fuel for our spiritual growth, and showed how to live happily in the midst of adversity. These ancient methods are even more relevant today than when they were first taught, and are the key to maintaining a happy and confident mind.

Classes are taught by Resident Teacher, Gen Atisha, and by other senior Teachers, and are based on the book, Transform Your Life. The classes are held at Vajrarupini Center at 3344 4th Avenue in San Diego.

Classes include teachings, discussion, and guided meditation. Everyone is welcome. No pre-registration is required and you can attend one or more classes in a series. No need to bring or wear anything special.  $12 per class.

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.
