this week's meditations and events
MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Wednesday January 25, 7:00-7:45 pm
Join us in a meditation on mindfulness, in which we learn to watch our thoughts without judgment or comment. Thus we lay the foundation to go deeper into self discovery without confusion, fear or doubt, developing the awareness that builds a spiritual ground from which to live our lives.
Everybody is welcome to join this meditation. The Wednesday guided meditations are popular among spiritual practitioners of all traditions.
MANJUSHRI MEDITATION
Saturday January 28, 10:00-11:00 am
Manjushri represents Buddha's infinite wisdom: the embodiment of all the Buddha's wisdom identified with penetrating insight into the nature of reality and interdependent origination. The great power of the wisdom aspect of the mind's inherent clarity can rescue us from confusion. Identifying with Manjushri's aspects of transcendental wisdom can be used to free ourselves from suffering and the causes of suffering. Invoking the deity Manjushri and accomplishing the related practices produces the relative benefits of sharpened intelligence, and, ultimately, enlightenment.

Sunday January 29, 10:00-11:30 am
