Lam rim Kadampa Buddhist Center is offering a one-hour meditation class from 6 to 7 p.m. March 22 at the Art Center of Burlington, 301 Jefferson St.

The Wednesday session includes an explanation of the benefits of meditation and how to meditate followed by a short, guided breathing meditation to calm the mind. Another guided meditation will follow. Meditation is meant to change attitudes from negative to positive.

This class is designed to be straightforward and great for people new to meditation. The meditations are short and practical. The class will emphasize how we can apply what we have learned immediately in our life in order to solve our daily worries, problems and difficulties in a peaceful, positive and healthy way, said Joe Gauthier, a resident teacher at Lamrim Kadampa Buddhist Center in Davenport. By presenting the timeless wisdom of Buddha in a way that is immediately accessible and practical for modern people, this class can benefit individuals from all walks of life.

Registration is not required. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for students.
