Lunchtime Meditation | Fridays

We know when we are sick that we need to take medicine to heal ourselves. However, when we or others suffer from mental distress, irritation or uncontrolled desires, we rarely think to administer medicine to the mind. Kadam Lamrim meditations are healing meditations. In this series, we will explore the beautiful meditations of “Taking and Giving” based on love and compassion. When we take this medicine for our mind or for others, it has a profound healing effect.

 

“The Kadampa Geshes used to pray to develop a mind that is as strong and stable as a blacksmith’s anvil, which does not break however hard it is struck. We need a strong and stable mind, one that is undisturbed by any hardship that life throws at us. ” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
