Staying Human in Hard Times

Keeping Compassion Alive When You’re Exhausted

Meditation Series in Plano

Mondays from 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
In-Person Only

Feel free to drop in at any point in the series. Everyone is welcome!

Please note: No class on September 7

As another hot summer comes to an end, we may find ourselves feeling a bit tired, like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. If we feel like we have nothing left to give, it is easy to feel cranky and frustrated.

But we can learn to change our mind from negative to positive with meditation. For example, the practice of developing real compassion for others is a great way to stay uplifted and energized. With compassion, we can hold on to our best qualities and let our good nature shine, even when we're not feeling our best.

By applying effort, cultivating our own good heart, and relying upon the clear advice of modern Kadampa Buddhism, we can definitely learn how to develop and maintain a happy and compassionate mind towards others. With practice, we can move beyond unpleasant states of mind, even when we're tired.

Everyone is welcome!

What to expect:

  • Classes are approximately 1-1/4 hours long.
  • Classes include two guided meditations and a talk on Buddhism for everyday living.
  • Occasionally Q&A is offered at the end of the class.
  • Although part of a series, each class is self-contained so you can check out any single class or jump into the series midstream.
