Calm Abiding Sunday with Lama Pema


  • Kagyu Sukha Chöling 109 Clear Creek Drive Ashland, OR, 97520 United States (map)

ONE SUNDAY EVERY MONTH FROM 9:00-11:30 AM

In January, Lama Pema began teaching on the The Six Paramitas (The Six Transcendent Virtues) of the Mahayana (Universal Vehicle of Buddhism).
 
Each month through June, she will address one of the virtues (courageous actions) that are recommended to us all by the Buddha:
 
              January              Generosity
              February            Morals and Ethics
              March                 Patience
              April                    Enthusiasm and Diligence
              May                     Meditation
              June                    Wisdom
 
This series will essentially be a class on this sequential topic, including important advice on how to transform these apparently worldly actions into transcendent ones.
 
Please join us! Recordings of the teachings will be available on our website following each monthly teaching.

Calm Abiding Meditation

This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.

“From this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.”  From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche

Please see our calendar for upcoming dates.
