Monday Guided Meditation
|
Led by Ven. Carol Corradi
Selected Mondays, 7:00 - 8:00pm (Selected Mondays only. See calendar for the latest dates) This guided meditation course is based on "Stages of the Path" (LamRim) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The “Stages of the Path” was developed as a synthesis of the main subject matter of all the sutras taught by the Buddha. Each meditation session will focus on different topics such as: the nature of mind, death and rebirth, karma, how to overcome suffering, mental quiescence, developing the good heart, the ultimate nature of reality (emptiness), and more. Our meditation sessions provide an ideal environment for new students to learn how to meditate, and for seasoned meditators to deepen their practice. |
Ven. Carol Corradi has been a nun in the Gelug Tradition for over 25 years. In 1990 she helped found Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco. She has taught various courses over the years at Tse Chen Ling, including the Discovering Buddhism series. Having worked as a mechanical engineer for over twenty years, she brings an analytical and practical perspective to her study and presentation of Buddhist concepts and meditation.
