Shambhala Meditation Centre of Toronto

Join us for a book launch with Michael Stone, author of Freeing the Body, Freeing the Mind: Yoga and Buddhism.

Michael Stone is a yoga teacher, lay Buddhist teacher and psychotherapist. He leads the Centre of Gravity Sangha, a thriving community of Yoga and Buddhist practitioners in Toronto.

“For too long in the West we’ve had the notion that Yoga and Buddhism are two separate, even antagonistic, paths. In this collection of articles by some of our finest Yoga and Buddhist practitioners, Michael Stone demonstrates that the two disciplines share ancient roots, methods, and goals; and that the time has come for us to re-affirm and learn from these old commonalities.”—Richard Rosen, author of The Yoga of Breath

This ancient Buddhist diagram is much more than a work of art. Even if we contemplate deeply the most sublime works of art, we cannot gain benefits that compare with those of contemplating and meditating on the Wheel of Life. In this course, we will learn how this drawing contains a profound teaching about the entire path to freedom and lasting happiness.
with Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Thekchen

This day course is a perfect introduction to the Buddhist path
