April

Our regular Meditations for World Peace class is taking a break April 6 for the Midwest Dharma Celebration… but if you love your Sunday Dharma Class, you still have options!

The Midwest Dharma Celebration is a special celebration of blessed empowerments, meditation and teachings over the entire weekend with our fellow Kadampa practitioners from around the Midwest. You may come to any or all of the celebration.

If you regularly attend Meditations for World Peace at KMC Madison but can’t attend the full weekend, you are very welcome to register for any part of our Sunday celebration. Come as early as 9am for a special meditation, then our main teaching will begin at 11am. Enjoy lunch with us and stay for additional teachings in the afternoon if you wish.

Everyone is welcome!

Registration Details

Cost: Full details about the weekend are available at midwestdharmacelebration.org. Sunday registration is $30; add lunch for $12 more.

Please note: During MWDC, online attendance is available only for those who register to attend the entire weekend online.

Location:
Kadampa Meditation Center Madison
1825 S. Park St., Madison, WI

Join us for a fun community-building time distributing flyers to promote our upcoming meditation retreat, Peace of Concentration, taught by visiting teacher, Gen Zamling. We will go around to Madison coffee shops and other businesses that are open to promoting local events. Meet at the center’s cafe at 11am for a brief instruction over coffee and bagels. Then head out as a group to distribute flyers. Distribution should take about an hour or so. 

“May all suffering quickly cease; And all happiness and joy be fulfilled; And may holy Dharma flourish for evermore” – excerpt from Liberating Prayer written by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

If you’ve been struggling with your meditation practice or feel that meditation isn’t working for you, come and learn how good preparation can bring focus, positive energy, and success to every session. Using the short sadhana Prayers for Meditation as an example, this class will explore how to use preparatory practices to purify negativity, gather merit, and receive blessings to deepen one’s meditation experience. The result: a peaceful, happy mind!

Everyone welcome!
