Free Meditation Classes, March 2017

Spring is a season for new beginnings!

Throw open the windows, let in the light and fresh air, and make or renew a commitment to meditate.

We are offering free instruction in meditation on several weekends during March, 2017.  Participation is absolutely free, and all are welcome. 

Why Meditate?

Meditation is a means of transforming the mind, the way we think, speek and act.  Regular meditation helps develop concentration, mental clarity, emotional positivity, and a rock-steady calmness.  There are physiological benefits as well.  Regular meditation can have a transformative effect leading to more positive ways of being and a new understanding of life.

Join us, won’t you?

BE SPONTANEOUS!  **

Join us for meditation today between 5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

** I say be spontaneous 'cause we didn't plan this very far in advance.

Open Meditation

We are hoping to host "open meditation" from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. daily for anyone who meditates.

Drop in for 20 minutes, or for an hour as your schedule, your inclinations, and your practice permit.  There is no registration and no fee.

This sitting is for everyone who practices silent, sitting meditation, from any tradition; Christian, Sufi, yoga, TM, vipassana, Hindu, Zen, or any other.

We're just silently sitting together in peace.

Wat Phothisomphan - the sign says Phothisomphan Meditation Monastery - is located on the west side of SE 14th Street in Des Moines Iowa.  The address is 2560 SE 14th St. Des Moines, IA 50320.  The private drive is the first right turn south of Bell Avenue.

As noted, we are going to try to have the facility open daily from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.  If there are changes to this schedule, we will post them on the Ariya Magga Buddhsit Missionary website [ ambms.org ], and on Facebook.
