Sunday, January 10

At 3:30, Loretta and Dmitry are offering a beginner's orientation in the room adjacent to room 323. If there is anyone relatively new to the practice, or to the Plum Village tradition, and has questions such as how to sit, how to deal with distracting thoughts, etc, they will offer some answers. Or if anyone has a friend who is interested in meditation, this could be a good place to jump in.

Keith will facilitate our regular practice from 4-6pm and sends this message:
This Sunday I would like to explore the oneness of the historical dimension and the ultimate dimension, intimacy and ultimacy, the way concentration and liberation are two sides of one coin. I want to explore moving into the experience of the marriage of the infinite and the finite in a single breath and how we maintain this enlightenment as we move through our day, how we practice every minute of our lives, generating joy, happiness, enlightenment with every breath, every step, everything we do. There is no way to transformation. Transformation is the way. I will do my best to facilitate our transforming ourselves in the here and now, and since we are the world, we transform the world when we transform.

Sunday, January 3

This Sunday we will watch a fragment of a Dharma Talk, sing some practice songs and explore how we can come home to ourselves (and stay there) as we start the New Year. There will be an opportunity to share if you have a particular intention or commitment for yourself in the New Year.
