What we’re about

This group is operated by Kadampa Meditation Center Long Island.
Welcome to Kadampa Meditation Center Long Island in Port Jefferson. We offer drop-in meditation classes, study programs and workshops on meditation.
What will I gain from these classes?
The classes will help you learn how to relax your mind, sharpen your concentration, and generally begin feeling more energized and refreshed. They will also provide you with new tools for dealing with stress, anxiety, and problems. Meditation will help you to overcome negative states of mind such as anger and jealousy, and to cultivate positive minds such as patience and love.
The talks and guided meditations will provide you with the foundation for developing a powerful meditation practice. A regular meditation practice has many benefits:
• helps reduce stress
• overcomes anxiety and worry
• brings inner calm and a feeling of well-being
• gives clarity to solve our problems
• helps us deal with challenging people and situations
Everyone very welcome. No experience, special clothes needed. Chairs are provided as well as cushions.

Thoughts Worth Thinking: with Christine Chase, Sunday 10:00-11:00am

Why do two people experience the same situation so differently? Our experiences arise from the thoughts we hold in our mind. Learn how to recognize and let go of unhelpful thoughts and cultivate those that lead to peace, strength, and wisdom. Through guided meditation and practical teachings we will discover how training our mind in this way brings real freedom and happiness, both in meditation and in daily life.

Recognizing our Equality: Howie Geismar, Monday noon-1:00pm

We have so much more in common with each other than we have differences, but we tend to focus on the differences rather than our commonality.We create a duality of self and other; then we cling, often painfully, to our self, our I, as being important and right while viewing others as less important and often wrong. Through exploring Buddha's teachings on recognizing our fundamental and meaningful equality with others, rather than focusing on our more superficial differences, we discover that caring about and cherishing others brings us a greater freedom and inner peace.

Strong Heart, Peaceful Mind: Ilene Hecht, Tuesday 6:00-7:00pm

When the world feels heavy, we wish we could do more to help. Through exploring practices for transforming discouragement into compassion and fear into courage, we learn to open our hearts. In this way, we discover a deep inner strength that brings a peace to our own mind which naturally benefits others. Teachings and guided meditations drawn from Buddha’s wisdom will help us turn our daily life into the path of love.
