The Power of Meditation
More and more people are discovering the power of meditation to transform their lives.
When life is busy, meditation creates an inner calm. When you are feeling stressed, meditation helps you relax both body and mind.
When you are confronted with difficulties, meditation helps you deal with them in a positive way.
When relationships turn sour, meditation gives you the wisdom to repair them. When you are full of your own problems, meditation gives you the compassion to cherish others.
Kadampa Buddhist centers offer a wide range of meditation classes for all levels of experience, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.
You do not need to be a Buddhist to attend the classes at Chittamani Buddhist Center, or to benefit from the techniques taught at them.
Discover Inner Peace
Escape from the busyness of modern life by rediscovering the ancient art of Buddhist meditation.
Create an inner space and tranquility free from the turbulence of modern living.
Meditation helps you: cope with the pressures and stresses of work; develop mental clarity, concentration and focus; relate to others in a calm, caring, and constructive manner; find real happiness and contentment for yourself; and the ability to impart these qualities to other people.
"Happiness and suffering are states of mind. The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we shall be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions."
