Thursdays 6:00 - 7:00 pmIn-person and via ZoomCalm Abiding MeditationThis meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.
鈥淔rom this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.鈥
From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche.

You could dust off your 鈥淏eekeepers Ball鈥 costume! Or perhaps you鈥檒l celebrate the program you鈥檙e supporting and come as Dionysus, the Greek God of wine?
