Monday Nights: Practice, Study and Sangha: An Informal Gathering
(This program is offered both in person and online.)
A Monday evening social gathering, meditation practice, and study/discussion for meditation practitioners at all levels.
6:00 PM – 6:30 PM – light snacks and social time
6:30 PM – 7:00 PM – meditation practice
7:00 PM – 8:00 PM – dharma readings and discussion
The “dharma-readings-and-discussion” provides an opportunity to make connections between the teachings and the practice of meditation in everyday life.
We are studying Lojong – the 59 “mind training” slogans of Atisha. Each week commentaries on one slogan are read aloud for contemplation through collective listening. Selections are excerpted from books by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Ani Pema Chodron and Traleg Kyabgon, among others.
Each Monday evening provides a fresh start to reconnect with motivations and aspirations for practice and study, among the company of fellow practitioners.
There is no fee to attend, but a donation of $2-$5 is suggested.
