Practices for Our Times: Calm, Kindness, and Compassion
(HYBRID) In a world marked by political, social, economic, and environmental uncertainty, how can we find calm and kindness amid the chaos? Change may feel beyond our control, but what we can transform are the attitudes we bring into everyday life.
This five-week course invites you to explore the timeless wisdom of the Four Immeasurable Attitudes: Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity. Rooted in the Buddha’s teachings, these attitudes offer a profound path to reconnect with ourselves, enrich our interactions with others, and nurture resilience in times of upheaval. Throughout the program, you will:
- Discover the meaning and interplay of each immeasurable attitude
- Learn meditation techniques to deeply embed these qualities in your mind
- Explore practical ways to embody these attitudes amid life’s complexities
- Recognize how cultivating these qualities builds personal happiness and inner strength
Classes foster an open, supportive environment with room for questions, reflections, and discussion — available both in-person and online.
“Even if we feel we are only capable of doing small things to help others right now, don’t feel hopeless or depressed. Instead rejoice because even the smallest attempt to help others should fill our hearts with happiness and joy.”
– Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Join us to cultivate a mindset that not only brings peace and joy into your life but also contributes kindness and compassion to a world in flux. This course is a unique opportunity to engage with one of the most powerful and beautiful methods for transforming your mind and embracing genuine happiness.
“The best way to help the world is to develop a good heart.”
– Lama Zopa Rinpoche
