Sunday morning meditation – Sundays from 11:00am to 12:15pm with Nini Rodriguez & Henna Ahuja

This world needs more peace. We can all be a part of bringing this about by becoming a more peaceful person. When we bring about this change in ourselves we naturally bring more calm and kindness to everyone we meet and to every situation we find ourselves in.  An essential part of being able to benefit others is becoming stronger ourselves and creating more balance in our life.

This Sunday morning meditation class will look at Buddha’s teachings on loving kindness and six famous practices that encapsulate a Bodhisattva’s way of life. Each week will include:

• guided breathing meditation 
• a short teaching on how to access more inner calm and kindness 
• a practice of some short chanted prayers in English called Prayers for World Peace
• a concluding contemplative time

 

Everyone is welcome.

About the teachers:

Nini Rodriguez is a sincere practitioner who first encountered Buddha's teachings at our World Peace Temple in Glen Spey, NY many years ago. She has been teaching for Kadampa Meditation Center Boston for several years.

Nini’s teachings are known to be joyful and accessible. She focuses mainly on how to apply Buddha’s practical wisdom in our daily activities so spiritual practice and daily life can be fully integrated.

Nini is native of Margarita Island, Venezuela and has a background of business, accounting and finance. She is particularly keen on helping to integrate meditation in people's busy lives, while dealing with work, school and family stress. She is a big believer that we can integrate meditation in any situation in our life and likes to show by example how to do that.

Henna Ahuja was born and raised in India, and has always had a deep fascination with Buddhism and its profound values. However, it wasn't until she discovered KMC Boston that she truly had the opportunity to delve into the depths of Buddha's teachings and texts.

Under the guidance of experienced Kadampa teachers, Henna has not only deepened her theoretical knowledge of Buddhism but has also learned practical techniques for incorporating its teachings into her daily life. She discovered the power of analytical meditation and contemplation practices, which have helped her cultivate a sense of inner calm, clarity, and compassion in her personal as well as professional life.
