Introduction to Buddhist Meditation: The First Steps to Enlightenment
A meditation retreat for everyone with modern Buddhist monk
Gen Kelsang Norbu
Saturday, January 16, 10am-5:45pm
at Kadampa Meditation Center North Carolina
Registration Coming soon
Lamrim means “stages of the path” to enlightenment. The Lamrim meditations are presented in the order in which realizations develop, and are a complete path to enlightenment, without anything missing. If we want to make spiritual progress past reducing our gross distractions and temporarily calming our mind through breathing meditation, the Lamrim meditations are what we want.
In this retreat for all levels of experience, Gen Norbu will introduce and guide the first five Lamrim meditations from The New Meditation Handbook: “Our Precious Human Life”, “Death and Impermanence”, “The Dangers of Lower Rebirth”, “Refuge Practice”, and “Actions and Their Effects”.
Session times
10-11:15am Meditation 1—Our precious human life
11:45am-1pm Meditation 2—Death and impermanence
2:45-4pm Meditations 3 & 4—The dangers of lower rebirth and refuge practice
4:30-5:45pm Meditation 5—Actions and their effects
