SUMMARY:Becoming A Buddhist: A Meditation Day Course
DESCRIPTION:We all have a transcendental nature, a spiritual dimension
  to our being. We experience it whenever we feel a moment of love for 
 another being, a sense of inner peace, a moment’s joy. In those mome
 nts we are connecting with the pure nature of our mind, the potential 
 within us for limitless love, peace, and joy. In a world of so much su
 ffering and conflict, the key to a happy and meaningful life is to dev
 elop the ability to seek refuge in our transcendental nature; to conne
 ct with it, develop it and share it with everyone in our life and in o
 ur world. In Buddhism we call this going for refuge.\nIn this course G
 en Tenzin will explain the Buddhist objects of refuge, Buddha, Dharma,
  and Sangha, and how through learning to rely on them we connect with 
 our pure nature. He will also show how to integrate this practice into
  our daily life. In this way we find protection from suffering, lay th
 e foundation for happiness, and open the door to future enlightenment.
  This course will include, for those who wish, a beautiful and blessed
  refuge ceremony whereby we formally take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, an
 d Sangha. Everyone welcome.\nSchedule:\nRegistration: 10:30-11:00am\nT
