During my time at a recent meditation class in Oak Park, I was warmly welcomed from the moment I walked in. Led by the compassionate Gen Zamling, the session focused on stress relief, which was exactly what I needed. The peaceful atmosphere created a deep sense of belonging and comfort, and I left feeling significantly lighter in spirit. It's amazing how community can uplift your soul, and I truly appreciated how the class emphasized not just meditation, but also human connection. If you're in Oak Park looking to find a little serenity in your life, I’d highly recommend checking this place out!

I wasn’t entirely blown away by my experience here in Oak Park. The meditation session led by Kelsang Gyatso was nice and produced a calm atmosphere, which I truly appreciated. However, I felt a bit underwhelmed by the selection of books available. I was hoping to see more from various Buddhist monks; that would have enriched my experience even further. While the staff were friendly and welcoming, which certainly added to the vibe, I left feeling like I was just scratching the surface of a true Buddhist meditation experience. The potential is there—just a few tweaks could really elevate it!

I must say, each time I attend the meditation classes, I leave feeling rejuvenated and happy! The vibe is just incredible—everyone there is so friendly and welcoming, and it really creates a community feel. I was initially seeking some stress relief, and the classes have not only helped me manage my stress but also improved my personal relationships. The guidance provided is top-notch, and I love the practical teaching mixed in with the meditations. It's been a delightful experience that I look forward to whenever they host an event. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their well-being!
