- **Event Name**: Becoming a Friend of the World
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 15 Aug, 2026 at 11:15 am
- **Event Description**: To create a meaningful and joyful life, we don't need a new job. We don't need a new lifestyle. We just need to shift our intention. ?

In this monthly Saturday series, we will explore how, through deepening our connection with positive intentions, we can improve our life, as well as bring peace and happiness to others. 
 
Buddha taught that by developing six specific states of mind, we can transform every facet of our life, our job, our relationships and so on, into opportunities to truly be a friend of the world.  

Through teaching and guided meditation, we can learn how to create extraordinary possibilities for living the very best life, for both ourselves and others. ✨

Everyone welcome! ?

This month's focus: PATIENCE, part 1
In Kadampa Buddhism, patience is a transformative mental state that allows us to face life’s difficulties, hardships, and mistreatment without becoming upset, angry, or resentful. Rather than mere passive endurance, it is an active inner strength that maintains a peaceful mind and protects us from the suffering caused by your own negative states of mind. We all possess this extraordinary inner strength. Now is the time to put it into practice.
 
In this class, we will focus on what Buddha meant by patience acceptance, as well as learn practical ways we can apply this virtuous mind in our daily lives. Everyone welcome!
