Monday Evening Meditation Classes

Mondays from 7:00 to 8:15 pm, year-round

Gen Kelsang Rinzin, Buddhist monk, Resident Teacher

The Monday Evening Meditation Class takes place every week and is taught by Gen Rinzin, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Meditation Center Washington. This introduction to meditation and Buddhist psychology covers a variety of topics including how to overcome anger and develop patience, how to increase love and compassion, and how to apply Buddha’s wisdom teachings to daily life.

Although the class topics generally follow a series format, each is self-contained and you can benefit from attending any class. Feel free to drop into any class that fits your schedule. While meditation is something we can do on our own, it is wonderful to receive teachings and guidance from a supportive community!

Meditation Challenge 2025 - Becoming a genuinely happier person

January 6 to February 10, 2025

Join our New Year's Meditation Challenge!
Our Goal: to become genuinely happier people.
Our New Year's Resolution to make it a reality: we commit to meditating every day
during the first six weeks of the year.

Buddha explained that we can become authentically happier by cultivating inner peace through the practice of meditation. By meditating every day, we can deepen and stabilize our experience of inner peace until we are in touch with it all the time, in and out of meditation.

Get your year off to a great start by cultivating one of the most important habits of happy people. Each week we will learn a new meditation, and then have a week to practice it, getting experience. Then the next week, we can check in, ask any questions, and learn a new meditation.

Receive inspiring practical teachings and be guided in meditations that will set you up to overcoming problems and developing stable and genuine happiness that you can maintain throughout the whole year.

Take the challenge to start 2025 with a great habit that can last a lifetime. Recharge your mind and experience progressively deeper mental peace.
