Make Sundays meaningful. Meet like-minded people and bring the whole family. These classes are suitable for those curious about Buddhism and meditation, and any level of interest. Join us afterwards at the World Peace Cafe for Sunday brunch and further discussion.
Sunday Services is designed to accommodate the lives of Atlantans who don't have time to attend weeknight classes or study programs but who still consider it important to set time aside during their weekend for spiritual development.
By taking to heart the Sunday teachings from our Resident Teacher, Gen Mondrub, we will learn how to bring the teaching into our daily life, solve our daily problems, authentically improve our world and progress toward our greatest human potential. By gradually learning how to meditate we will be able to release accumulated stress, develop a more focused, stable, and peaceful mind, and bring this peace into our relationships and our world.
If families wish to attend together, we have designed an adjacent sound-proofed room where your children can learn about these same teachings at their own level and pace. Parents can join in with their children or take a break in the adult program next door. Click here to view the children's class schedule.
Simple, preparatory prayers in English set to beautiful music are used prior to the Sunday teachings, but no one has to participate if they prefer just to listen. The purpose of these traditional prayers is to remove negativity from the mind and cultivate a positive mental environment.
