Minds That Heal

In this series we will generate profoundly healing mental attitudes in meditation. We can then begin to apply these attitudes in the course of our daily life. Buddha taught 84,000 methods to overcome pain, negativity and suffering - when we learn which negative mental habits we tend toward, we can apply these many antidotes and begin to live a happier, more fulfilling, and very meaningful life.

Wednesday Night Meditation in

Wednesdays • 7 - 8pm • $15 • Included in Membership
With Resident Teacher, John Baker
In Collingswood, NJ
Collingswood Community Ctr, 30 W. Collings Ave
​Buddha taught about eleven virtuous mental factors or parts of the mind. Any time they are present in our mind we can know that our actions will be beneficial. If a spoonful of sugar is stirred into a cup of tea, all the tea becomes sweet because sugar is by nature sweet. Similarily, when any one of the eleven virtuous mental factors is present in the mind, that entire mind becomes virtuous. In this series we'll learn about eight of these, understand their benefits and think about how they can help us maintain peace and harmony in our life.
