Meditation Class
Dharma in the Desert
Introduction to Buddhist Meditation: 3 week class series

If you have ever wondered about how meditation could benefit you and your life… IF you have ever been interested in meditation but didn’t know where to begin… IF you have tried meditation and been frustrated… Now is your chance!

You are invited to a 3-week class covering the basics of Insight meditation from the Buddhist Dharma tradition (“Dharma” is the “Teachings of the Buddha”). The class will include guided and silent meditations, as well as opportunities for sharing questions and discussion about meditation practice. Instructions will be gradually expanded each week and practiced during the week at home. Come learn to calm and settle your mind, and see what happens! The most you can risk is losing your stress.

The teachings are offered without a set fee. You are invited to support the classes through contributing voluntary donations (the practice of “Generosity”) for the support of the teacher and the support of the facility.

Larry Yang teaches meditation retreats nationally, including at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Marin, CA. He is trained by Jack Kornfield, and has practiced extensively in southeast Asia, with a six month period of ordination as a Buddhist monk under the guidance of meditation master Ajahn Tong.
