The teachings that Buddha Shakyamuni brought to our world 2600 years ago are a source of much needed inspiration, and are a practical guide to becoming a friend to the world. Instead of feeling helpless and disconnected, we can develop our ability to become a friend to everyone – our family, our friends, our community. Every action motivated by cherishing love for all living beings will help create peace within our hearts and in our world.

Empathy protects us from frustration with others' behaviour because we see the world from their perspective. We don't need to agree with what they are doing or saying, but we can imagine the situation from their perspective, which leads to more acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. 💖

To really understand and love others, we have to out ourselves in their shoes. This is the practice of exchanging self with others.

Ageing and illness are events in our life that are unavoidable, and yet we spend time, effort and money trying to avoid them. Our efforts are usually spent dealing with the external signs of ageing and illness. A Buddhist perspective teaches us how to look inward, as we examine our attitudes towards ageing and illness.
In this half-day course of teachings and meditations, Gen Delek will bring Buddhist wisdom to considering ageing and sickness without fear or denial.
Everyone is welcome! You do not need any previous experience with meditation.
Cost: $30 or $15 for members

Love Creates a Better World - Developing a Mind of Loving Kindness
Buddha taught that the mind of love has the power to solve all of our problems. Through developing our mind of loving kindness, we will naturally feel affection towards others and understand that cherishing all living beings is the answer to our problems.

Join us on Monday mornings starting Sept 14th for in-person meditation classes at the SHOAL Centre. Preregistration required due to covid restrictions.

Patient acceptance is a method to solve our inner problems, & protects our mind when things go wrong. 💖

In this extract from a teaching by Gen-la Jampa we learn how our mental reaction to difficulty causes more suffering than the hardship itself.

We all hold a subtle inner peace deep within our hearts. Through meditating in meaningful ways, we can gradually come closer to bringing this beautiful mind into our daily life.
