The General Program

General Program (GP) classes are great for first time meditators as well as others who want to deepen their experience of meditation. GP classes provide an introduction to Buddhist teachings and meditation. Through these classes, we can learn how to use Buddha’s advice in our daily lives to solve our problems and find the peace and happiness we seek.

A Typical Class

A typical class consists of a breathing meditation, teaching, and a final meditation. There is often time to ask questions as well. Most classes last an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Students sit in comfortable chairs to support a proper meditation posture.

Our beautiful meditation space provides an environment that is safe, quiet and peaceful; where people can enjoy a break from ordinary problems and concerns.

By training in meditation we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless of the external circumstances. Gradually we develop mental equilibrium, a balanced mind that is happy all the time, rather than an unbalanced mind that oscillates between the extremes of excitement and despondency…In this way we shall come to experience permanent inner peace.
