Stillness in a Busy World

Settling the Mind in Meditation

Meditation Series at KMC Texas

Thursdays from 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
In-Person, or Online for KMC Texas Members

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

Please Note
No class on November 26, Thanksgiving

To meditate is to skillfully navigate the mind — avoiding being carried away by the currents of random thoughts, and making our mind peaceful and still.

Regardless of the method we choose to find stillness — whether that means sitting with wisdom or just letting go of everything — there are well-known, time-tested techniques for settling the mind. In this series of meditation classes, we will use analogies from the great Buddhist master Saraha to help us understand how to meditate and settle our mind.

Whether you are new to meditation or a longtime meditator, these analogies will help your practice. Every class has two meditations: one will focus on breath and one will focus on wisdom. 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 daily life.
  • 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.
