CANCELLED: Food For Thought: Relaxation & The Art of Balance

  • Kadampa Meditation Center Texas 1875 Laws Street Dallas, TX, 75202 United States (map)

Please note: This event has been cancelled.

Food for Thought is a truly unique night out in Dallas. Gather in open minded community for relaxing guided meditation and a short thought provoking talk, followed by a three-course vegetarian meal.

If our mind is balanced and peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful and balanced, we will find it very difficult to be happy and relaxed even if we are living in the best conditions. Through meditation practice, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer form of happiness within. Eventually we will be able to stay happy, even in the most difficult circumstances.

We invite you to join us for Food For Thought!

We welcome everyone to experience sharing a fun social event together after being guided in relaxing meditation.

Doors open at 6:30 pm for appetizers. Our meditation will begin at 7:15 pm and the meal will be served at 8:00 pm.
