I didn’t know until about a month ago. I’d been wanting to learn to meditate for a long time, and it has seemed to me that the more I put off learning (and, of course, practicing), the more cluttered my life became with relationships and situations that required more-than-a-little “centeredness.” The Buddhist Center made it easy for me to stop planning to go and just do it. I didn’t need to call ahead and, since they welcome meditators of all experience levels, I didn’t feel out of place once I arrived.

Well, I’ve been meditating, on my own and at the Center, for about a month now. To be honest, I’m not sure how much in my life has changed yet, as far as my relationships and other situations go, but I can truly say that I have changed. I feel far more peaceful than I ever did and in such a short time. I guess it really is true that peace is always within us, if we just take the time to “drop in” to our center and experience it.
