SUMMARY:Lamrim: The Stages of the Path
DESCRIPTION:\nMeditations to make our life happy and meaningful\n\n\n\nThe Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, or “Lamrim” in Tibetan, is a sophisticated, practical presentation of Buddhist teachings, which is designed to help us improve and grow in a deliberate and joyful way. Over 1000 years ago the Buddhist sage Atisha consolidated the 84,000 teachings of Buddha into the Lamrim, which are 21 essential meditations, revolutionizing the practice of Buddha’s teachings. Since then, Lamrim has flourished throughout the world and it perfectly fits within our modern lifestyle. It is simple, scientific, and incredibly potent.\n\n\n\nThe Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings.\n\n\n\nIn this class, Gen Dorje will guide us one-by-one through the Lamrim, drawing out how we can personally use these meditations and create our own meditation practice. There will be a special emphasis on the art of meditation and how to really make our meditations effective.\n\n\n\nRecommended reading materials: The New Meditation Handbook\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the teacher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGen Kelsang Dorje is the resident teacher at the Kadampa Meditation Center Madison.
