Samudra Kadampa Buddhist Centre

Samudra Kadampa Buddhist Centre is registered charity and a member of the New Kadampa Tradition – Int Classes usually run from 7-9 pm.

Meditation classes are open for anyone to attend and are designed to accommodate every level of meditation experience. The main focus is to help you develop a daily meditation practice so that you can achieve inner peace. Samudra Centre offers two distinct meditation class programs. The General Program (GP) introduces basic and advanced meditation practice. The usual format consists of a teaching

on various spiritual subjects, followed by questions and answers, refreshments, and a guided meditation. The teaching functions to present Buddhist wisdom in a practical way, applicable to real life situations, that everyone can implement and benefit from. In this way, our meditation practice is supported by new ways of thinking and behaving in daily life. Various courses and subjects are offered throughout the year. No registration is required and you are free to join the program at anytime. There is a fee of $10 per class in order to cover costs. Foundation Program (FP) provides an opportunity for formal, structured study. The focus is on gaining advanced meditation experience and integrating Buddhist philosophy into day to day situations. Registration and abiding by certain commitments are required. For more information see the Foundation Program web page. Attending the General Program is recommended as a preparation for joining this program. Buddhist meditation practice has a centuries old history of effectively reducing and eliminating stress, fear, anger, anxiety and depression. If we think deeply, we shall realize that gaining lasting inner peace is the most valuable quality that we could ever develop.

Learn many types of meditations!
7:30 – 8:15 PM
Teacher: Gen Kelsang Rabgye

DEVELOP THE INNER POWER OF MENTAL PEACE
The actual purpose of meditation is not merely to experience brief relaxation and inner peace, but to eventually be able to control our mind all day long. If we can control our mind, we will naturally be able to control our thoughts and feelings. In this way, we can avoid generating negative thoughts and feelings, but more importantly, avoid agitated reactionary responses to the unpleasant actions of others. Each Thursday will consist of engaging in two separate meditation sessions.

Over time you will learn many different types of meditation that are designed to address the many types of human problems. In addition, you will learn various meditation techniques that will allow significant progression toward becoming an accomplished meditator.

Since there are many hardships and challenges in modern human life, we need to care for our mind in special ways. Otherwise, it is easy to succumb to generating resentment and blame toward everyone and everything around us. Make Thursday evenings the highlight of your week!

Cost: $10.00

If the things you desire do not come, it is due to karma created long ago, therefore keep a happy and relaxed mind.

Tonight we begin a new course: Stop Allowing Others to Annoy You
7:30 - 9 PM
Teacher: Gen Kelsang Rabgye
ABOUT THE COURSE
One of the most common subjects of human conversation is voicing complaints about other’s poor behavior. This is subject arises because we believe that their behavior made us unhappy. The question is, do others actually have the power to make us feel our feelings? This is a very important question to resolve, otherwise we end up living a life of victim-hood and its attendant misery. Learn to stop letting others annoy you!

By relying upon his Spiritual Guides, Atisha gained special knowledge of the three sets of Buddha’s teachings – the set of moral discipline, the set of discourses and the set of wisdom; and of the four classes of Ta**ra.

He also mastered arts and sciences such as poetry, rhetoric and astrology, was an excellent physician, and was very skilled in crafts and technology.
