Our Wednesday classes are open to everyone and are suitable for beginners and those who have some experience. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso writes in Modern Buddhism:
“Kadampa practitioners emphasize training in meditation. The objects of meditation should be those that are meaningful, so that through training in meditation we can free ourselves permanently from all the sufferings of this life and our countless future lives, and we can attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment.”
In our general program we will learn to meditate on meaningful objects.
March
04.03. Transform Pain with Patience Part 1.
18.03. Transform Pain with Patience Part 2.
On these two days we will understand the nature of pain and suffering and how our ability to relax and let go, fully accepting the way things are can solve our deeply personal problems as well as give us a fresh perspective on life in general. we will include special meditation exercises to get in touch with the sources of pain and find relief.
April
08.04. Find your own Purpose in Life Part 1.
22.04. Find your own Purpose in Life Part 2.
A life without purpose or meaning is not a not a happy one. Everyone thinks from time to time what am I here for? What good am I? What Can I Give to others? What am I getting out of this life? These are meaningful questions and we require wisdom and deep contemplation to formulate clear answers for ourselves. Listening to Buddha’s wisdom about the reality of our life situation and how to create purpose in our life will be well worth your while.

The Teacher
Gen Kelsang Dema
Gen Kelsang Dema is the resident teacher of the Kadampa Meditation Center Basel.
She is a modern Buddhist nun and a very experienced teacher of the New Kadampa Tradition who has been studying and practicing Kadampa Buddhism for 25 years under the guidance of venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
Because of her experience, Gen Dema’s teachings are powerful, clear and profound. It is her greatest joy to accompany others on the inner path to happiness and freedom. It is her greatest wish that everyone learns to lead themselves to their own source of joy and bliss. It’s really easy to find inner peace and always be happy.
We simply have to follow the teachings that Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche has made available to us out of his great kindness – to the people of this busy and modern world – and we will see that our lives change for the better.“
