Joyful Effort practices the Ngöndro or Foundations meditations. These were created to provide an entryway and sturdy base for future Mahamudra meditation, which is the pinnacle teaching of the Kagyu lineages. New and renewing members are typically accepted in October and April.

Joyful Effort meets monthly following the Tonglen Sunday meditation. The meditations are supported by a text (available at the KSC office for $26), many study aids, and supportive readings from three major lineage teachers. The monthly meetings are dedicated first to practice instruction, and thereafter, will focus on the practitioners’ experience and questions.

Registration is required, and the text will be needed for the first meeting.
