For many, the holiday season is a time of giving. This class explores how to approach the holidays with an authentic spirit of generosity and expand one’s ideas of what one has to give. The class ends with a guided meditation on the Four Thoughts That Turn the Mind. The Four Thoughts are foundational to the practice of Dharma and common to all Buddhist traditions. Through repeated contemplation of the Four Thoughts, we can change our deeply ingrained thought patterns, transforming our everyday experiences into a vehicle for true happiness.
