The Inner Science of Meditation
Thursdays, April 9 – June 4 , 2026
No Class – US National Festival – Thursday, April 23
All of us, moment by moment, are experiencing our world through the power of our mind. But what is our mind and how does it function? Through gaining an understanding of our own mind, we will learn how to recognize and abandon states of mind that harm us and to replace them with peaceful and beneficial ones.
In this series we will use the text How to Understand the Mind by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. This is an extraordinary book – both practical and profound. It offers a deep insight into our mind and shows how an understanding of its nature and function can be used practically in our everyday experiences to improve our lives.
Copies of How to Understand the Mind are available for purchase in the bookstore at the Center and at the Bonita Springs branch class.
Everyone is welcome! No experience needed. Each class includes a teaching, guided meditations, and an opportunity for Q&A as time permits.
