with Gen Kelsang Rigpa

In a world of so much fear and anxiety, and where inwardly we have such a hard time maintaining peace, it is clear we need enlightened help - swift help and powerful blessings on the minds of all of us. Because of Arya Tara’s strong connection with Atisha, the Founder of Kadam Lamrim, she promised to give special care, protection, and blessings to Atisha’s followers who sincerely practice Kadam Lamrim.

Refuge Day & Ceremony

Become Your Own Protector
with Gen Kelsang Rinzin
Saturday, May 11, 10:00am – 4:00pm (with breaks)

Buddha’s teachings are universal. In this diverse and turbulent
world, his insightful and compassionate advice holds the possibility of
uniting everyone, regardless of background, race, or religion. Finding
refuge in these teachings, the Dharma, we gradually build stable peace
in our mind by increasing our positive minds and freeing ourselves from
delusions. Through this we come to experience actual inner protection
from all pain and problems, as well as the ability to protect others.

Meditation Changes Everything

So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and many of the problems we experience, including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this stress. Just by doing breathing meditation for ten or fifteen minutes each day, we will be able to reduce this stress.

We will experience a calm, spacious feeling in the mind, and many of our usual problems will fall away. Difficult situations will become easier to deal with, we will naturally feel warm and well disposed towards other people, and our relationships with others will gradually improve.

We should train in this preliminary meditation until we gain some experience of it. However, if we want to attain permanent, unchanging inner peace, and if we want to become completely free from problems and suffering, we need to advance beyond simple breathing meditation to more practical forms of meditation, such as the cycle of twenty-one Lamrim meditations explained in
