About the classes
This 5-week course will cover the basics of meditation and is based primarily on the bestselling title The New Meditation Handbook:
"The New Meditation Handbook is a practical guide to meditation. It teaches us how to make both ourselves and others happy. Although we wish to be happy all the time, we do not know how to be, and because of this we usually destroy the happiness we have by developing anger and other delusions. As the Buddhist Master Shantideva says:
... although they wish for happiness,
out of ignorance they destroy it like a foe."
The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
