SUMMARY:Buddha's Birth-Day Study
DESCRIPTION:BUDDHA’S BIRTH DAY PARTY: The Healing Power of Thoughts\nWednesday\, 6:30 – 8:30pm ET  •  May 27\, 2026\nPresented by Leonard (Ram Lev) & Jenness Perlmutter \nLEVEL II: The Compassionate Buddha is one of our most practical teachers of mind/body medicine. From the very first line of the Dhammapada—“our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think”—the Buddha explains what leads to joy and health and what leads to dis-ease and sorrow. Then he explains how to take our lives into our own hands. Without esoterica or metaphysics\, without appeal to anything superhuman\, the Compassionate Buddha encourages us to experiment with our minds in order to experience health and happiness. Join us to celebrate the Buddha’s birth-day by studying his practical teaching. \nView full course informationThis course is offered in-person at the AMI Home Center and online via ZOOM.\nAll classes are recorded and links are made available to you following each class.  \nIf attending via ZOOM\, meeting room information will be sent to you via e-mail within the week prior to the start of the class.  No special computer equipment is required.  Our distance learning classes are compatible with most major browsers\, tablets and phones.  If you would like to check specific system requirements\, visit the ZOOM website by clicking here. \n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Conquest of Mind by Eknath Easwaran	\n\n\n\n	$15.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details\n\n\n	\n	\n\n	 \n\n\n	\n\n\n\n		\n						\n			\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		Dhammapada (translation) by Eknath Easwaran	\n\n\n\n	$10.95\n		\n	\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\nAdd to cart	\n			\n\n\n	Details

You simply sit in a straight-back chair with your head\, neck and trunk straight\, or on the floor with your legs in a cross-legged yoga posture if that is more comfortable. You will be asked to close your eyes and concentrate your silent attention on any name of the Divine Reality that you are most familiar and comfortable with. Do not worry if you have not been given a mantra from a qualified teacher; that is true for a large number of the participants. Here are some suggestions from different traditions:  \n\nJesus\nLord Jesus Christ\nAve Maria\nBarukh attah Adonai\nAllah\nRama\nOm namaha Shivaya\nOm mani padme hum\n\nThe actual period for meditation begins with the sound of a bell. A reading and group discussion follow the meditation.  \nHOW SHOULD I DRESS FOR THE MEDITATION SESSION?\nLoose\, comfortable clothing is best.  \nIS THERE A CHARGE?\nNo\, the Sunday AMI MEDITATION and Satsang is free. However\, we gratefully accept donations. If you are attending via ZOOM\, you can make an online donation here. \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n \n \n \n  \n \n
