5 Years...I
want to thank everyone who attended the five year
anniversary party on August 13, 2006. The event was
perfectly delicious. I particularly want to thank
Harriet Leibowitz for hanging her photographs from
India - they made the evening quite special. If you
enjoyed Harriet's India pictures be sure to attend
her opening "Visceral
Beauty"

The Vacknin in
the 905 building on Juniper Street. I also want to
thank Leigh and David Mallis and Bryan Thompson for
helping with the event. It is hard to believe that
five years has come and gone so quickly - I can't
imagine what the next five years hold. Again thank
you for being a part of the onlYoga community and
continuing to support this amazing practice! -Namaste

Buddhist Meditation Classes
Monday August, 21 2006Filed in: eUpdate
RAMESHORI BUDDHIST CENTER will
begin teaching a class once a week at onlYoga
on
Mondays At 7:45Pm Beginning September
18Th.
Rameshori Buddhist Center of Atlanta, Georgia,
teaches meditation classes and practical Buddhist
methods for improving the quality of our daily lives
and gaining inner peace. They are part of the New
Kadampa Tradition of Buddhism , a classic, living
tradition which has been re-presented by Geshe
Kelsang Gyatso specifically for the West. There are
close to 1,000 Centers and branches of the New
Kadampa Tradition throughout the
world.
Buddhism has a timeless and universal relevance, and can be practiced by anyone in any culture, regardless of race, gender, or age. Through training in meditation and other Buddhist practices you can improve the quality of your life by developing inner peace, love, and wisdom. You do not need to be a Buddhist to try out these practices, or to benefit from them.
CLASS Schedule: TRANSFORMING THE MIND
Buddha explained that all problems and suffering arise from negative states of mind, and that all happiness arises from peaceful, or virtuous, states of mind. Through training our own mind patiently and consistently over time, we can reduce and eventually completely remove negative states of mind.
Series 1: Love, Desire, Attachment The majority of our daily problems arise from our attachment.
Series 2: Overcoming Conflict And Anger
The negative mind of anger has no other function but to destroy our inner peace and the peace of those around us. We live in a "culture of blame".
Series 3: The Supreme Good Heart
We all want to have a "good heart"; we all want to be "good people" who benefit others. But what does having a "good heart" actually mean, and how do we systematically cultivate it through training our mind? Buddha teaches that the supreme good heart is the mind of "bodhichitta," a mind wishing to reach our ultimate potential of Enlightenment for the benefit of others. We each have the potential to achieve a pure motivation for all of our daily actions.
Class Format:
Each class begins with a guided meditation, includes a short teaching (20 - 30 minutes) and concludes with time for discussion and question & answer.
