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.
