Joy in Everyday Life


August 1 / 6:30 PM - August 25 / 4:00 PM

Joy in Everyday Life (JIEL) will go into the Shambhala teachings on cheerfulness and health. Through study and practice of these teachings on discipline and the traditional Buddhist teachings of the Mahayana, we step out of the trap of our habitual patterns, free ourselves from confusion, and cultivate the noble heart of compassion. This class is a strong introduction to the Buddhist concept of bodhicitta.


This is the third class of the Way of Shambhala. The corresponding weekend retreat is Shambhala Training Level III:  Warrior in the World.  This retreat is scheduled September 7-9, 2013.


JIEL will run on consecutive Thursday evenings beginning August 1 and conclude with an all-day meditation practice (nyinthun) on Sunday, August 25, 2013.


Location:  Palm Beach Shambhala Meditation Group, 1660 Southern Blvd. West Palm Beach, Florida  33406
