Feeling disillusioned, discouraged or disconnected from a higher purpose indicates a lack of spiritual direction in our lives. Wanting to learn to meditate, but being unable to maintain a consistent practice is another common problem. These and other symptoms are remedied by the structured program of meditation known as lamrim: the stages of the path to enlightenment. This series will explore the essential foundational meditations of lamrim. Through entering Buddhism we will bring practical and ultimate benefit to every aspect of our lives.
