Sometimes when we look around, we feel like everything is a mess. The world, our life, our workplace, our home—messiness can appear in all sorts of ways. It can be overwhelming and leave us susceptible to mental agitation.&nbsp;
But anything can become fuel for growth if we know how to use it! No matter how big a mess we are dealing with, we can keep a calm, happy mind. We can approach the situation with resolve and strength. Join us on Sundays to learn how to cultivate the good qualities that are needed to transform the messier aspects of life into spiritual growth.

Dallas Tuesday Evening Meditations - Stop Stressing: Relying on a Light Mind, Not a Tight Mind

Every path we take unfolds step by step. The first steps are the most important, because if we don't take them, we can't go anywhere! But if we make good preparations and take our first steps with confidence, our journey's success is guaranteed.
Inner spiritual paths are the same. We need a basic foundation to ensure we make good progress. Lamrim means the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. In this series of classes we will meditate on a beautiful and traditional poem that highlights the Lamrim, the stages of the spiritual life of a Kadampa practitioner.
Everyone is welcome.

Join us for one of our highly popular nature center day retreats! Get out of the city, slow down, and enjoy a uniquely meaningful shift in perspective. Learn how to rely upon practical wisdom and meditation to increase your confidence, and to align your daily activities with your spiritual life goals. With so many challenges and disturbances in life, wouldn't it be great to have a sense of strength? The great Buddhist meditator Shantideva said: I should maintain self-confidence in three things: My Dharma practice, my Dharma activities, and overcoming my own delusions. For thousands of years Buddhist meditators have practiced in this way. By learning these methods and applying effort, we can overcome our own inner and outer obstacles, too. The day's schedule is structured so that you can relax and peacefully enjoy nature between meditations.

Moving From Doubt to Confidence: A Meditation Retreat

We engage in spiritual practice to transform our attitudes and experiences so that our negative mental habits reduce and our positive ones increase. As a result of practice, we establish inner pathways of growth and development. Where these pathways lead depends on our intentions.
In this series we will learn to develop these inner paths. Their destinations - tranquility and peace, free from problems and pain. Join us to learn special attitudes and views give rise to an intention for true freedom. Because our current intention to be free from suffering is only producing temporary results.

Do you ever feel constrained or limited? Sometimes it seems like people are holding us back; at other times it is our situation or conditions. Feelings hold us back, too - fear, worry, laziness, aversion, and more - emotions that can seem insurmountable. So how do we find the strength and courage to rise above our own perceived limitations?
Join us each Sunday in June as we look at how to live freely. The teachings and guided meditations in this series will focus on developing our confidence, courage, and compassion in daily life.

A monthly series about how meditation opens the path to overcome our deepest suffering.
Anger and attachment are two very dangerous minds. Allowing this pair of deluded minds to arise into our conscious mind results in immense harm to others (anger) and ourselves (attachment). When anger and attachment mix, they create the conditions for an even greater danger lurking in the shadows: addiction. It should be no surprise, then, that engaging in behavior that arises from a mind captured by the strong delusion of addiction brings harm to ourselves and others.
In this series, we will discuss aspects of the mind and learn meditations which will help us learn to develop peaceful, virtuous minds that begin to arise naturally and spontaneously no matter what situation we are experiencing. With each session, we learn more about how the mind works and how to meditate to cultivate minds that naturally oppose anger and attachment. We will also learn about the dangers of engaging in anger and attachment and discuss the benefits gained by meditating on virtuous minds that will block the harmful delusions from arising in our minds in the first place.
Everyone is welcome to attend this series whether you have been meditating for a long time or are brand new to meditation.

Meditation is increasingly common in our society, and there are many different styles of meditation. No matter what type we practice, sometimes we find our meditations to be ineffective. One reason for this - we are lacking good conditions for meditation practice.
This special series of classes will focus on what to do before we dive in to our meditations to ensure that we experience meaningful results. We will be looking at shaping the space we meditate in, our motivation, the state of our mind, and more. The practical tips we explore in class will definitely make our own meditation practice more effective.
