Top New Year's Resolution for 2018: MEDITATE! (Dharma Meditation Initiative)
Don't like the Dalai Lama but like Tibetan Buddhism? Try the Kadampa tradition.
    .
    Join a group of like-minded individuals for an annual New Year's Eve celebration! Ring in 2018 in a meaningful and positive way, with compassion and beneficial intentions! Kadampa will enjoy hors d’oeuvres and non-alcoholic beverages from 9:30 to 10:45 pm. Then Gen Kelsang Rigpa will give an introduction to the New Kadampa Tradition's practice of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, which is a beautiful arrangement of prayers and mantras, then engage in the practice itself. As midnight approaches, Gen Rigpa will guide participants in a meditation into 2018. Cost: $15. Register. More info.
