Morning & Noon Meditation

The Three Jewels Morning and Noon Meditations are an integral part of its overall mission of promoting both the study AND practice of Buddhist ideas and techniques for achieving peace and happiness in this lifetime.

Early morning meditation classes offers members of the community a helpful start to their day. Morning Meditations are designed to help participants establish a positive motivation for the workday, reduce stress and bring a compassionate spirit to their endeavors. Midday Mediations begin with a hot cup of tea and provide a peaceful refuge from the daily stress we are all subject to.

Meditations are led by volunteer teachers, using traditional practices such as Tong Len (Taking Suffering/Giving Joy) to structure compelling contemplations on how to live more fully each day and find meaning and satisfaction in life. The sessions are designed to introduce people to meditation with an emphasis on meditation preliminaries and easy visualizations.

Meditations are held in small, intimate groups of up to 12 people. The size allows the meditation leader to provide personal attention and answer individual questions after the meditation.
