2021-02-17 Emptiness & Compassion (Talk) 44:39
Shelly Graf
The weekly practice groups are designed to be a cornerstone for one's practice by providing ongoing instruction and teachings that will help illuminate the simple but challenging practice of mindfulness. The Buddha taught that mindfulness is the way to go beyond habits of distraction and grasping. To walk this path of wisdom and compassion, we need the support of a community that shares this intention. Each session includes a guided meditation, dharma talk, and discussion. Both experienced and beginning meditators are welcome. No registration necessary. Wednesday nights will be led by Shelly Graf, and guest teachers. Shelly will be using the book, Listening to the Heart: A Contemplative Journey to Engaged Buddhism by Thanissara and Kitisaro to guide these Wednesday night practice groups. The book can be ordered online if you would like to follow along with the written text.
