Diversity Thrift

We offer a weekly meditation class for the Richmond community emphasizing techniques for training the mind to benefit both ourselves and those around us.
Reliable Minds for Difficult Times In our July classes (July 6th, 13th, and 20th) we will explore how to maintain more peaceful and beneficial states of mind, even as life presents us with endless difficulties.
How does one cope with the uncertainty and instability of our daily problems and world events? Responding with anger, attachment and fear offers no real protection. Buddhist teachings encourage us to rely upon peaceful experiences and states of mind. Learning to meditate helps us to gain experience of them. This series will introduce Buddhism and explain how meditation can offer authentic inner protection.
July 6: Patient Acceptance: Finding Strength in Difficult Moments July 13: Compassion in Action: A Better Way to Respond July 20: Seeing Clearly: The Person Is Not the Problem July 27: No Class
Join us for class which consists of Guided Meditation, Buddhist Teachings and Commentary, and time for Questions and Discussion.
Each session stands on its own, so you’re welcome to attend one class or the entire series. Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike, these classes offer practical tools you can apply immediately to create more happiness—starting from within.
Everyone is welcome! Our tradition of Buddhism makes no distinctions on the basis of gender, sexuality, race, background, or income. And it doesn't matter if you identify with a different religion. Buddhist teachings can benefit everyone!
Cost: $5
