Although we have incredible potential for peace and happiness, we find it very difficult to maintain a continually joyful mind. Because &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; distorted inner perceptions, or delusions, we can become out &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; touch with reality and distant from the things that truly inspire us. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In this series &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; classes, we will be introduced to the &lt;span class="il"&gt;art&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="il"&gt;meditation&lt;/span&gt; whereby we can learn to transform our habitual delusions into states &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; mind that are beautiful because they bring happiness to ourself and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; With &lt;span class="il"&gt;meditation&lt;/span&gt; we can utilize our creativity and imagination and take the raw materials &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; our present experience and mold them into a profound inner peace and clarity that enables us to control our mind regardless &lt;span class="il"&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; the external circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Class Schedule: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;11/4 - The Key to Happiness&lt;br /&gt;11/11 - What is Meditation?&lt;br /&gt;11/18 - How to Begin Meditation&lt;br /&gt;11/25 - Taming the Wild Mind&lt;br /&gt;12/2 - Concentrating on Our Good Heart&lt;br /&gt;12/9 - Realizing the Purity and Clarity of Our Mind&lt;br /&gt;12/16 - Meditation in Daily Life&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/kadampa-meditation-center-texas/~4/79l6JRPmDD4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;h1&gt;Advice for Anxious Times&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saturday, November 28th 10:30am - 12pm &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;address&gt;&lt;img style="width: 91px; height: 99px" class="Floatleft" src="http://www.meditationintexas.org/images/234.jpg" alt="Meditation Teacher" title="Meditation Teacher" width="91" height="99" align="left" /&gt;&lt;/address&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; A Free Public Talk &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; with Kelsang Jampa&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it can feel like our life is out of our control and that things are falling apart. We may respond to our difficulties by becoming anxious and negative which accomplishes nothing. Instead of allowing adversity to make us unhappy and discouraged, we can use these experiences as a means to develop a positive mind.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; In this public talk, we will learn Buddha&amp;#39;s special advice for transforming all the difficulties in our life into spiritual lessons that lead to freedom from anxiety and allow us to put back together the pieces of our life. Everyone is welcome. Ongoing classes will follow this public talk.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt; Venue: Terri&amp;#39;s Place&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;401 E Woodhaven Drive, Ruston, La 71270&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Weekly Meditation Classes&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Eight Steps To Happiness&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;with Buddhist Teacher Brenda Mcintyre &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sundays, 9:30 - 10:30am&amp;nbsp; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This series is based on the book &lt;a href="http://www.tharpa.com/us/book-Eight.Steps.to.Happiness-568.html"&gt;Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso&lt;/a&gt;. We&amp;#39;ll learn how to transform every moment of our life into a step on the path to inner peace, and in particular how to transform all of life&amp;rsquo;s difficulties into truly liberating experiences.&lt;/p&gt;  	&lt;p&gt;All of our problems originate from a deeply ingrained tendency to cherish oneself more than others. Learn simple methods to eradicate this stultifying perspective and replace it with a genuine wish to cherish others &amp;ndash; the source of all goodness and happiness in this world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cost: $10 per class, $5 for seniors and students&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt; Venue: Terri&amp;#39;s Place&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;401 E Woodhaven Drive, Ruston, La 71270&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/kadampa-meditation-center-texas/~4/nJDD2YPmINc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
