There is no shortage of words to describe how going to this center has changed my life. I can't say I've gained a lot from meditation, but can say I've lost a lot. Lost the fear of attachment, lost the fear of being alone, the fear of uncertainty, and the fear of fear itself. I have reached states of peace I previously thought I wouldn't attain in my anxiety plagued state, and I have come to know myself more wholly and fully than ever before. It is my sincerest hope to share what I have learned through developing a meditative practice with the world. Kadampa was a big part of that.
