In today’s meditation class, we talk about the art of being at ease with not knowing.

In today’s meditation class, we talk about compassion and the pillars that support cultivating compassion in ourselves.

In our series of sessions so far, we have talked about the inevitable, impending death (sooner or later) that we all face as beings who have taken birth. From the Buddhist point of view, a human life is rare. And a human life is also one of the best if not the best form of life that is suitable for “taming” the mind which leads to deep inner-peace, joy, and freedom from suffering. We can make great progress in this life if we make the efforts to meditate and to think good thoughts and take good actions to be helpful to others.

Picking up from last week's class where we talked about the importance of finding out what's truly important to us, today we discussed the process of making that what's important to us happen, the process of realizing it in our daily lives.

Using the metaphor of making a fire, we presented how to create the right conditions of our goals and outlined the three pillars that support the experiencing of these goals.
