Join us for our Annual Walk for Peace and Vegetarian Picnic Potluck at the French Broad River Park Gazebo.
Proceeds raised from the annual Walk for Peace, along with member sponsorships and class fees are what keep our non-profit community Meditation and Modern Buddhism Center open and running. Through your generous contributions and the kind hearts of all our volunteers we are growing a hub of refuge in the midst of what can often feel like a storm. Potluck begins at 12:30pm followed by Walk.

Anger appears in many forms and disguises. Sometimes it manifests as a feeling of stress, other times it may take the form of depression. From the slightest frustration to resentment and embittered rage, anger is an emotion we all need to understand and conquer if we are to enjoy and make the most out of our life. In this course we will explore practical solutions to the problem of anger, deconstructing its actual causes and learning viable alternatives to this painful habit of mind.
Half-Day Course Saturday, May 25 | 10:30am-1pm
Do you ever have those 3am questions? What is the purpose of my life? How do I make the most of my short time on this planet? How can I seize the day and live a less ordinary life? Every moment of our human life is precious, rare, and immensely meaningful. Yet, with the stress of daily life and chaos in the world, sometimes it can be hard to feel this way. The meditation on our precious human life has the power to uplift the mind, giving you a renewed sense of gratitude and joy.
Day-Course Saturday, June 15 | 10:00am - 3:00pm
We have all heard the phrase ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’.
Contemplating and meditating on the symbolism and deep meaning contained in the Wheel of Life Diagram, an ancient piece of art, is like contemplating a road map pointing us toward liberation and teaching us how to develop the stages of the path to enlightenment.
