Love Without Attachment, at KMC Port Jefferson

A Four Part Journey Through The Great Scope

Explored though The New Meditation Handbook by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso 

Led by Carl Timpone

 In this accessible and experiential series, we will gradually expand the capacity of our heart and mind through clear, logical contemplation and guided meditations.

The Lamrim offers a complete and practical roadmap for inner transformation. In this series, we’ll focus on meditations that cultivate equanimity, heartfelt love, and a stable foundation for developing universal compassion. As Geshe Kelsang explains, “By relying upon Lamrim we can solve all our daily problems and maintain a happy mind all the time.”

Through systematically training in these meditations, we will begin to reduce the grip of negative mental habits and open the door to lasting inner peace. These teachings help us break free from the painful emotional patterns that keep us stuck, and offer instead a resilient inner strength grounded in wisdom and compassion.

Love, as taught in Buddha’s teachings, is not mere sentimentality. It is “a sincere wish for others to be happy” and when rooted in wisdom and free from attachment it becomes a powerful armor protecting the mind from turbulence and despair.

Whether you are new to meditation or deepening your practice, this series offers a rare opportunity to engage with timeless teachings in a way that is both relevant and transformative.

Life’s a lot. Burnout, breakups, nonstop scrolling, always chasing the next thing… it’s easy to feel stuck in the same loops., Ancient wisdom can offer surprisingly relevant guidance.

This class explores the Four Noble Truths as a living path:

  • Recognizing the underlying patterns of dissatisfaction in our lives

  • Understanding their causes

  • Learning that freedom is possible

  • And discovering a clear path of meditation and ethical living that leads us there

Whether you're new to Buddhism or looking to deepen your practice, this class offers a grounded and accessible approach to one of the most foundational teachings in Buddhist philosophy. We'll combine discussion with guided meditation, helping you not only understand the teachings intellectually but begin to experience their transformative power directly

Sunset Meditation at Sound View, Greenport

Join us in The Gathering Room at Sound View, Greenport for a guided meditation and Dharma talk led by Megan Frey

We all have habits that seem hard to break. Unfortunately, many of these habits convince us we can’t change, make us unhappy or even harm our health. Through understanding Buddha’s teachings, we can then replace even our most stubborn habits with profoundly beneficial ways of thinking that lead to peace and happiness.

Negative states of mind are just bad mental habits, and like all habits they can be broken.

Join us for a guided meditation and Dharma talk where we will cultivate tools that assist in creating a more peaceful and harmonious world for ourselves and others.

No special clothing is required. Cushions and chairs are provided. All are welcome! Teachings based on the works of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

Megan discovered Buddhist meditation at twelve, sparking a lifelong exploration of the intersection between inner and outer worlds. This curiosity led her to study various philosophical traditions while earning a B.S. in Mathematics from LIU and a certification in Data Science and Machine Learning from MIT.

Shaped by her scientific training, this unique background offers an analytical but pragmatic investigation to meditation and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the purpose of knowing one’s own mind.

Megan teaches a wide range of students, from beginners seeking an introduction to meditation to incarcerated individuals exploring these practices as a path to transformation. After years of studying, attending classes, and participating in retreats, she now shares the ancient wisdom of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, helping others discover its relevance and value in their own lives.

Led by Megan Frey & Carl Timpone

We all have habits that seem hard to break. Unfortunately, many of these habits convince us we can’t change, make us unhappy or even harm our health. Through understanding Buddha’s teachings, we can then replace even our most stubborn habits with profoundly beneficial ways of thinking that lead to peace and happiness.

Negative states of mind are just bad mental habits, and like all habits they can be broken.

Join us for a guided meditation and Dharma talk where we will cultivate tools that assist in creating a more peaceful and harmonious world for ourselves and others.

No special clothing is required. Cushions and chairs are provided. All are welcome! Teachings based on the works of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

Choose Peace Now, at KMC Port Jefferson

Led by Carl Timpone

Join us for a guided meditation and community discussion where we will cultivate tools that assist in creating a more peaceful and harmonious world for ourselves and others.

In difficult times we may feel the world closing in around us, finding it hard to expand our hearts to others. In this class, we will explore ways to grow authentic compassion for challenging people and situations, allowing us a transformative approach without sacrificing our own wellbeing. Through mindfulness, we’ll study how our own suffering arises, allowing us to gain compassion for ourselves and others which gives us the tools to navigate difficult circumstances and emotions together. All our actions are preceded by thoughts, and by engaging with new perspectives we create the potential to reshape our world.

No reservation necessary. No special clothing is required. Cushions and chairs are provided. All are welcome!
