• Bethesda Kids' Class, July 2012

  Our theme for the class was true refuge. After the opening guided meditation, we had fun with a jar full of water and dirt! Sometimes, when things aren't going our way -- or when they are going sooo our way and we don't want it to end -- our minds get like the jar when we shake it up. Our minds go from being clear and calm to being murky and full of craving and aversion. In this class, we learn to meditate, meaning we learn how to calm, watch, and guide our minds away from suffering (murky mind) and toward lasting happiness (clear mind).
