Learning to improve our love and develop a powerful heart
| Date & time: Wednesdays, 7:30pm Location: JavaVino (in the private lounge) http://www.javavino.com/ 579 North Highland Ave. Atlanta, GA 30307 | Course fees: $10/person; $5/students and seniors |
This ongoing series of Food for Thought classes - Learning to Love and Liberating Relationships - is all about the crucial experience of love, which is the source of awakening our pure spiritual heart. Everyone wants it. Everyone needs to love and to be loved.
In reality love is limitless in its power to fulfill all our own and others' wishes. Love has no limitations nor power to create problems. Buddha said that everyone without exception has this latent potential within them -a good heart- so we can see that love is the source of all hope and happiness.
Drop in; each class is self-contained.
Food for Thought brings to your neighborhood a casual and relaxed approach to learning practical and inspiring methods for a happy life as taught by Buddha. These methods can solve our daily problems, help develop peace of mind in any circumstance, show how to keep a happy heart in all relationships - good or bad - and offer a special wisdom that can transform every experience into a rich, spiritual path. In the same way that Buddha taught each individual according to their personal inclination and capacity, Food for Thought is intended to reach out and offer something for everyone, at any level of interest.
Join American Buddhist monk and Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Center Georgia, Gen Mondrub, for informal meditation, meaningful discussion and entertaining question and answer time. Maybe you can ask something you've always wanted to know about Buddhism but were afraid to go through the doors of a Buddhist Center to ask. Food for Thought is a light, clean and rewarding evening of fun. Most nights conclude with social time to meet like-minded people - with food for the body, too!
