Meditation Classes in Columbia

  • Owen Brown Interfaith Center 7246 Cradlerock Way Columbia, MD, 21045 United States (map)

Everyone is welcome to join these weekly classes on meditation and modern Buddhism.

These classes include both meditations and teachings based on Buddha’s wisdom that can help us to stay peaceful, even in the most challenging times. Current series topic:

Forces for Positive Change: Removing Obstacles to Success

We can develop and strengthen five positive mindsets, called the five forces, that allow us to grow in our ability to keep our mind peaceful even in tough times.  When we become adept at integrating these forces into our spiritual practice, our realizations will grow quickly, and we will give ourselves the gift of more and more protection from suffering.


To Register: Please register at the door, arriving 10 minutes early.

Cost: $12 ($8 students, seniors 62+, and unemployed). Free for Monthly Members.

You can also become a member starting at $50/month and receive discounts while you help to provide a steady level of support for our activities. These classes are included in your membership!
