These classes are also suitable for beginners. Without inner peace in the minds of living beings, outer peace is impossible. Start the week off right by learning to increase and maintain a happy, positive mind. Everyone is welcome to join us for an inspirational talk, special prayers and guided meditation to create peace inside of people's hearts and therefore, the world. Every week we make special prayers and dedications for people around the world.

Learn the art of relaxation and stress-release and discover the far-reaching benefits derived from all aspects of Buddhist meditation.

Cost: $10 ($5 for students/limited income) per class. Center Sponsors pay $60 ($35 for students) each month, and can go to any class at the Florida Centers or branches for free.

Our study program is available for anyone interested in a more in-depth study of Buddha’s teachings. We meet on Wednesday nights to study Geshe Kelsang’s books in a systematic manner on the Foundation Program.

Fort Myers Meditation Classes

We are presently studying Eight Steps to Happiness. This inspiring book reveals essential methods for developing universal love and compassion, the source of true happiness for both self and others.

It gives a detailed and practical commentary to eight beautiful verses that comprise one of Buddhism's best-loved and most enduring teachings, Eight Verses of Training the Mind. Composed by the great Tibetan Bodhisattva, Langri Tangpa, this short poem shows how we can transform all life's difficulties into valuable spiritual insights.

Students have a chance to share their experiences in paired group discussion and apply authentic lineage instruction to their daily life. Eventually we reach the point where we can transform any situation, however unpleasant, into a positive experience and an opportunity to make progress in our spiritual development. For registration call (239) 567-9739 or email us at info@meditationinfortmyers.org.
