Sunday Morning Meditation

Building Self Confidence

Sundays | 10 – 11:30am

Cost: $10 (Free for Members)

About the class

In these classes, learn reliable Buddhist ways of thinking and meditations to develop strong and authentic self-confidence that naturally empowers us in all our activities.

Through the powerful tool of meditation, Buddha discovered that the actual causes of happiness lie within the mind. We can all practice meditation, as he did, and in doing so replicate Buddha’s insights directly in our own experience.
We can become an inner scientist. In the process we’ll learn how to skillfully let go of states of mind that give rise to our uncomfortable, painful feelings, and how to nurture the thoughts that give us peace of mind — wisdom, love, and compassion.
