Transform Your Life: A Blissful Journey

If you missed the first part of Transform Your Life in the past, here is your chance to study this amazing book again. Starting in September 2009, Gen Mondrub will begin giving teachings from the book Transform Your Life once again. Topics that will be covered this fall include:

  • What is happiness? What are the nature of our problems?
  • Understanding our mind
  • Exploring the possibility of past and future lives
  • Meditation and mindfulness for everyday life

No need to attend all classes. Drop-in anytime.

Sunday Services is our new program designed to accommodate the lives of Atlantans who don't have time to attend weeknight classes or study programs but who still consider important setting aside time during their weekend for spiritual development.

In the book, Eight Steps to Happiness, Geshe Kelsang advises, "We do not need to abandon our family, friends, or enjoyments, and retire to a mountain cave. All we need to do is change our object of cherishing."

By taking to heart the Sunday teachings from our Resident Teacher, Gen Mondrub, we will learn how to bring the teaching into our daily life, solve our daily problems, authentically improve our world, and progress towards our greatest human potential. By gradually learning how to meditate we will be able to release accumulated stress, develop a more focused, stable, and peaceful mind, and also bring this peace into our relationships and our world.

If families wish to attend together, we have designed an adjacent sound-proofed room where your children can learn about these same teachings on their own level and at their own pace. Parents can join in with their children or take a break in the adult program nextdoor. Click here to view the children's class schedule.

Following each Sunday Service will be a Social Hour for everyone, with a rotation of potluck refreshments and food, where we can make new friends and find spiritiual community.

Simple, preparatory prayers in English, set to beautiful music, will be used prior to the Sunday teachings, but no one has to participate if they prefer just to listen. The purpose of these traditional prayers is to remove negativity in the mind and cultivate a positive mental environment.
