Meditation Classes and Courses This December - https://mailchi.mp/4a555/whats-on-this-june-at-akbc-4790138

Thanks to the generosity of our members, volunteers, and benefactors, Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre has moved to an online class infrastructure to keep our meditation classes maintained throughout 2020. Despite a year full of many new challenges, Avalokiteshvara Centre has remained a place for us to come together and train in overcoming adversities through meditation. We have worked hard to overcome the pandemic limitations by adding more onsite and online class op...tions with new classes, courses, retreats and chanted prayers. We are happy to see many people from all over Ontario have been able to join us online. We thank all who have helped us this year in maintaining our programs for the benefit of our community in Southwestern Ontario. Moving online has meant many volunteers working together to create an online platform and safe onsite conditions for us to meet. This has largely consisted of upgrading our internet, borrowing some useful computer hardware, and also purchasing a small sound system to integrate our online and onsite classes which has also meant an increased cost. If you appreciate our meditation classes, please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to Avalokiteshvara Centre. Our donation goal is $2100 This will fund the cost of our sound system and cover the cost of our internet package for the upcoming year. This donation will also go towards maintaining our classes, courses and retreats so they are available for anyone who wishes to train in meditation to gain a deep and stable inner peace. Avalokiteshvara Kadampa Buddhist Centre a registered charity that relies solely on the kindness of volunteers in the community to run. Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation securely directly on this page through Paypal or online through CanadaHelps https://www.canadahelps.org//avalokiteshvara-kadampa-budd/

A wonderful weekend receiving the healing blessings of Medicine Buddha and healing teachings from our General Spiritual Director, Gen-la Dekyong.

Today is Buddha's Return from Heaven Day. Every year on September 22 we celebrate Buddha’s return from the desire god realm called Land of the Thirty-three Heavens, where he had been to visit his mother who had been reborn there. This day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied ...to become millions of light offerings. On this day we should especially remember Buddha’s kindness. https://kadampa.org/2020/09/descent-from-heaven
