In gratitude to the many new and long time friends who continue to grace our center with their warmth and intelligence each week, and who share such a keen interest in the dharma, we are delighted to offer a first for our center: we'll be opening the doors on an hour earlier at 9 am, for a series of Sunday one hour classes on some of the most fundamental and profound teachings in Buddhist thought and practice.

The morning light is especially beautiful and rich in our space.  We'll provide the tea and refreshments.  Then we'll have a short break before starting our regular meditation practice from around 10 to 12 noon. These promise to be special Sundays at our center.

Here is the lineup:

  • October 9 - 9am-10am - The Three Vehicles (HInayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana)
  • October 16 - 9am-10am - The Four Tenets
  • October 30 - 9am-10am - The Three Baskets - especially wisdom
  • November 13 - 9am-10am - The Five Paths
  • November 20 - 9am-10am - General Introduction to Tantra
  • November 27 - The Five Dhyana Buddhas
  • December 11 - Death and Dying

Suggested Donation:  Suggested donation for each morning class is $10.  Participants are invited to stay for our regular Sunday morning meditation practice that follows.  A donation for our regular Sunday morning sangha is welcome. 

 

Registration and Questions: No need to pre-register, but please try to arrive a little early so we can take care of business ahead of time and have a nice relaxed start, especially as our Sunday meditation practice will follow directly afterward.  If you have any questions about any of the classes, please feel free to email Jeffrey Carr.

Webcast Information:  Webcast will be the same, a requested offering of $10 which includes the entire Sunday at TBC - how perfect. 

Other Stuff: It's not necessary or required, but we invite anyone who is so inclined, to feel free to bring something nice (and reasonably healthy) in the way of breakfast snacks to share with others.  You can also listen to the audio and download the handouts for the previous classes on our Multi Media page right here on the website.

Please note!!  We will post weather and other updates (if there are any) right here on the website calendar.
