Land of Compassion Buddha Edmonton

Love the meditation sessions on Saturdays! Very welcoming and worth going if you've never tried before.

Warming, tranquil and loving place. After one year of attempting meditation, I never went anywhere or stopped thinking during meditation. However, last week, while we attended the meditation at the temple, towards the end, we felt think strong amazing vibration/energy that was immensely blissful. My thoughts dissolved for the first time in my life! And made good friends here too! But we wish that the teaching style could be more vibrant, maybe let all of us read the txt and raise questions paragraph by paragraph and take short breaks in between.

Great Place, Great Environment, very helpful; Whats evens more wonderful is the meditation classes they now offer on Monday evenings 6:30-7:30 pm. The reason i say this is because i believe meditation to have played a big role in my life & in helping me open up my mind more to Buddhism. When i first studying Buddhism it was hard for me to grasp on to its ideas, because i had been raised as a catholic and already had a different mindset on how our existence works. This made it very hard for me because my mind would automatically disagree with Buddhist teachings without even giving them a chance. The one concept of Buddhism that my mind seemed to agree with though was meditation, because i realized that every time i would take some time out of my day to meditate their was this feeling of peace, quite & stillness in my mind. this feeling would penetrate to the core of my being. My normally upset & chattering mind would be peaceful for those few minutes I'd spend meditating. After experiencing this peace my mind/soul wanted more of this feeling & as a result i began to meditate more; becoming more open to Buddhas teachings. The few minutes have now turned to hours sometimes & has relaxed my mind to a state of peace that i never thought was possible, it has also helped me deal with many negative emotions that i carried around with me. Even eliminated some completely. My destructive mindset & emotions have slowly been healing from the teachings of Buddha, the teachings have made me more in tuned with my inner being & the world around me; allowing me to feel true happiness. None of this would have been possible if i hadn't given the simple yet powerful tool known as meditation a chance. Please if you have some time i suggest you attend the meditation classes that are now being held here & maybe some of the other classes as well; Give the teachings of Buddha a chance they really are a powerful antidote for many of the problems that arise in peoples lives & i truly believe they can bring peace to your life.

I have two of your ninja outfits. Want them back?

Geshe Pema is a wonderful person and it's a beautiful place to learn about Vajrayana Buddhism in action. Warm and friendly people from diverse cultures makes it a great community experience.
