This Saturday! Half-Day Buddhist Meditation Retreat:
Release Yourself from Resentment
May 23rd, 10am-12:30pm

For as long as we hold on to hurt from others, as well as hurt from our own mistakes, we will find it difficult to move forward with our life. We can become locked into the same cycles of destructive thoughts and behaviours that prevent change. How do we release ourselves from resentment and self-blame and take back control? Buddha’s teachings on acceptance and empathy help us to stop grasping at the past and enable us to live more fully in the present. With Buddhist nun and Resident Teacher Gen Chöyang.

This retreat is suitable for both beginner and more experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome!

The retreat will take place at Kuluta Buddhist Centre at The Spire (82 Sydenham St. inside the Sydenham St. United Church), Rm. 205, 2nd Floor, Kingston ON. An elevator is available.

Drop-in Meditation Class @ The Spire:
The Inner Light of Wisdom:
Buddha's Four Noble Truths

Navigating life’s problems in these modern times is challenging, especially when we receive so many different kinds of advice. One perspective worth considering comes from Buddha Shakyamuni. His first teachings, known as "The Four Noble Truths," explain why we suffer and how we can find both temporary and lasting peace. All of his subsequent teachings can be understood within these four basic principles: True sufferings, true origins, true cessations, and true paths. With Buddhist nun and Resident Teacher Gen Chöyang.

These classes are suitable for both beginners and more experienced meditators. Classes are self-contained, so feel free to drop in at any point in the series.
