Chenrezig: Loving Kindness & Compassion in Meditation and In Daily Life<\/h3>\n

Wednesdays February 7, 14, 21, 28\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\n7 \u2013 9 p.m.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Vajrayana Buddhist tradition teaches us that the essence of loving kindness and compassion is already innate within us.\u00a0In fact, we get a taste of\u00a0these qualities in those moments whenever our hearts are deeply touched, whenever our activity is unconditionally for the benefit of others. With\u00a0the\u00a0aspiration to\u00a0increase our sense of humanity and altruistic\u00a0action equally for all beings, the Practice of\u00a0Chenrezig can deepen awareness of our inherent loving kindness and compassion — and ultimately awaken us to our Buddha nature.<\/p>\n

Acharya Choying Gyurme will\u00a0take us through the Chenrezig sadhana (liturgy) explaining how to\u00a0take the Practice\u00a0on our spiritual path, and\u00a0into our daily lives.<\/p>\n

Suggested donations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Free for members
\n$10 for non-members per session
\n$30 for non-members for all four sessions<\/p>\n

If these amounts are not convenient, please give whatever you can.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
