Meditation Center in Lambertville Hosts Three-Day Event on Anxiety, Aging, and Finding Peace
May 1–3 | Open to the Public

Menlha Kadampa Meditation Center will host a special three-day meditation event from May 1–3, featuring visiting Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Chöma. The weekend includes a public talk, a half-day course, and a concluding session focused on practical methods for navigating fear, change, and uncertainty with greater clarity and peace.

The event begins Friday evening with “Creating Optimism in Times of Fear & Anxiety,” a public talk addressing the growing experience of stress and worry in modern life. Drawing on the teachings of Buddha, Gen Chöma will explain how anxiety arises from the mind and how it can be reduced by developing a new perspective resulting in mental peace.

On Saturday, the course “Aging with Wisdom: A Buddhist Exploration” offers two teaching sessions and guided meditations on approaching aging and illness with acceptance, insight, and meaning. A light lunch will be provided.

The weekend concludes Sunday morning with “How to Help in Troubled Times: A Buddhist Perspective,” which explores how to respond to today’s challenges with skillful action based on compassion and wisdom.

All sessions are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
