Buddhism: View, Meditation, Action
From the mundane to the extraordinary challenges of life, we search for meaning and methods to remedy life's troubles. Whether the excitement of busy lifestyles, or the joys of partnership, many look for advice to find freedom in their minds when faced with difficulties.
The 2,500 year old teachings of Buddhism contain three pillars for peoples lives in which to create a strong basis for all of life's experiences.
There is a view which shows a level of a perfection in the here and now. There are meditations for holding that view and training a mind free of distractions. And finally with a liberating perspective and a firm foundation one goes into the world free to actively and joyfully express themselves as they see of benefit.

Presented by the Diamond Way Buddhist Center of Minneapolis, the hour long lecture from international lay Buddhist teacher Jacub Kadlec, will cover the topics of view, meditation, and action, of the three schools of Buddhism; Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. The introductory lecture will also emphasize how the practical advice and methods of Buddhism can be used in modern life without exotic pretenses or locations.
Following the lecture, we will provide time for questions, and we will conclude the evening with a short, (10-15 minute) guided, and formed meditation, on a Buddha aspect. No experience necessary and all are welcome to attend.
Admission: $10
