The tranquility Practice Group is the perfect starting point for those beginning their journey with Tibetan Buddhism and meditation.  This practice group will focus on foundational meditation theory and practice and is open to anyone interested in being part of a group to support and inspire their ongoing meditation practice. We will work with variations of calm abiding meditation to increase awareness, wisdom, and compassion and our relationship to our heart/mind. Practitioners of all levels are welcome to join. There are no prerequisites for this group.

We will explore meditation through group and home practice, discussion, and by reading Mingyur Rinpoche’s book, Joy of Living: Unlocking the secret and science of happiness.

Monthly sessions will be guided by Sue Kretschmann.  Sue has been studying and practicing at KSC since 2009.  As a student, she is devoted to the teachings and our Lamas.  Her key practices are Calm Abiding and Tonglen.  Sue is an enthusiastic student and enjoys reading and discussing dharma commentaries.
