There are stages in our meditation practice where we can become a bit discouraged.
We can become tough on ourselves, self-critical and lacking on confidence. At times like these, we can rely on Buddha’s beautiful teachings on effort — and learn how to build a happy practice that is wide, deep and stable, like a great river.

In these classes, we’ll look at how to practically do this, with excerpts from the famed poem Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life by the great Buddhist meditation master Shantideva. We’ll explore how we can cultivate and rely on the mind of joyful effort, and tap into a joyful, light, and long-lasting approach to meditation.

Everyone is welcome!
