Training Our Mind In Challenging Times

with kadam Donna Campanelli

Vajra Light kadampa Buddhist Center
875 Mamaroneck Avenue
Suite 205
Mamaroneck, NY 10543

Buddha presented a special set of practices known as ‘training the mind”. These meditations are especially powerful in these spiritually challenging times. The heart of the practice is learning to transform adverse conditions into our spiritual training, and responding to difficulties with a special wisdom and skill, so that we let go of our self-centered, small-minded fearful mind. Instead, we open our heart with love and compassion and in this way learn to live confidently and fearlessly.



Based on the thousand year old famous Buddhist poem, Eight Verses of Training the Mind, in this course, Kadam Donna will take us on a step-by-step journey to expanding our heart and experiences of authentic, peaceful, and stable happiness.

Everyone welcome! Suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
