"Lamrim" meditations are a special sequence of meditations which contain all Buddha’s teachings. They are renowned as supreme medicine for our mind, and are practical and suitable for everyone. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit from these classes. Gaining experience of the sequence of Lamrim offers incredible benefits, both immediately and in the long term.
Our Sunday morning classes will offer you the full sequence of Lamrim meditations over the course of 2021. Each month a different part of the Lamrim sequence is explored. Taught by Resident Teacher Trina Gunther, each class includes: a preliminary meditation to reduce distractions and quiet the mind followed by a short chanted prayer, the presentation of a Lamrim meditation including guided meditation, and an opportunity for questions.
Everyone is welcome! Join us via Live Stream, or if you would like to attend in person (masks required), we have limited socially-distanced seats available - please contact info@meditateinfortcollins.org to reserve your seat in advance.
Cost: $10 ($7 students/seniors and no-one refused for lack of funds)
The Four Noble Truths
Sundays at 10:30am-12pm April 4, 11, 18
In times of turmoil we can see the necessity of wisdom to guide our actions. Although Buddhism is an ancient spiritual path, what Buddha taught is timeless and universally applicable, especially during these complex and challenging times.
In his fundamental teaching, The Four Noble Truths, Buddha explains the spiritual path in a clear and simple manner. These four wisdoms show a way to the end of suffering and how to find supreme inner peace. With this ultimate problem-solving wisdom, anyone can develop a fearless and optimist approach to their life!
In Sutra of the Four Noble Truths, Buddha says:
You should know sufferings.
You should abandon origins.
You should attain cessations.
You should practice the path.
