Discovering Buddhism: Expanding our Heart — Bodhicitta

with Emily Hsu

Tuesdays, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
February 17 – March 24, 2015

no class March 17
(5 classes)

Learn the methods to generate the powerful minds of loving kindness, compassion and bodhicitta. Bodhicitta, the wish to attain enlightenment for the benefit of others, is considered to be the heart of Buddha’s teachings. Without developing this brave mind, one cannot attain enlightenment itself. This class explores this mind and how to generate it.

Each class includes time for presentation, discussion and meditation. Clear instruction will be provided to enable students to develop the qualities of loving kindness and compassion, and to begin now to apply these teachings in very practical ways.

Everyone is welcome!

Although it is part of the Discovering Buddhism program, anyone is welcome to attend — you do not have to have attended previous modules.
