Sunday Morning Dharma

Sunday Morning Practice combines study and practice of meditation with reading and discussion about Tibetan Buddhism. It is relaxed and informal; questions and discussion are welcome. We will learn and practice several types of meditation, including calm abiding as well as more advanced meditation practices such as Green Tara (the embodiment of the Buddha's wisdom), and Chenrezig (the embodiment of compassion). During the months of April through June 2010, we will read and discuss a selection of stories from the famous "100,000 Songs of Milarepa". In addition to being lively and entertaining, these wonderful stories contain very direct instructions on Dharma practice at all levels from beginner to advanced, from Tibet's most famous Yogi. As Garchen Rinpoche once said, "There is no greater Guru than Milarepa". In this context, we will introduce and discuss a variety of Buddhist topics and introduce just a little of the Tibetan language. Beginners are welcome! It is not necessary to attend the entire 3 months - you can come any time.
