Making Life Meaningful

A 4-week course in the Contemplative Living Series

As the unchecked human forces of consumerist greed and fear-based hostility drive the planet and ourselves to the brink of destruction, many of us struggle to find a sense of meaning and purpose. Following the Tibetan contemplative arpeggio of the ‘Four Thoughts That Turn the Mind’, this four-part course provides much needed direction to help us resolve our existential angst and offers a step-by-step method for transforming our misguided lives into ones of profound meaning. Each class begins and ends with a period of Tibetan style visualization as we walk the initial steps of the path to enlightenment (lam rim).
