Please join us for Calm Abiding Meditation at 6:00 pm, followed by a talk by Lama Pema and Lama Yeshe. They will provide an introduction to Buddhism and give an overview of the upcoming programs offered at KSC. There will also be time for Q&A. 

After the guided meditation practice, there will be a welcome and introduction to the classes and offerings this winter and spring. This gathering is sometimes lovingly called “Newcomers’ Night” because it is a great way for new people to meet sangha members and learn about the many ways to become involved at KSC. Simultaneously, many long-time members also like to attend to celebrate the start of a new season of deep and rich learning.

Calm Abiding meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.
