All are welcome to attend this unique event at the Buddhist Library, including beginners and no background in meditation is necessary.
Entitled 'The Journey from Mindfulness to Pristine Mind Meditation', this interactive two-hour program will provide experiential guidance on how mindfulness and Pristine Mind meditation work in unison to help us calm our agitated minds, uncover our naturally pristine state of mind, and learn to maintain an experience of the unconditional happiness that lies within us in every moment.

Through teachings, guided meditation and opportunities for questions and answers, you will learn vital practices for working with your mind to reduce anxiety and stress, enhance your happiness, effectiveness, and relationships, and reconnect with your natural state of mind. These methods are deeply relevant whether you are just seeking a happier life or are pursuing the spiritual journey all the way to enlightenment.
