2nd Dharma Talk and Meditation Repeated March 14

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
March 14, 2010
3:00 pmto5:00 pm

The February 20 Dharma Talk and Meditation was well attended and received, but many of you wrote or telephoned that they were unable to attend due to other commitments or because Saturday was not a good day; they asked if I would do it again.  Therefore, we have scheduled a repeat of the same subject, Buddhism’s Four Sublime States of Consciousness with Meditation, for Sunday, March 14 at 3:00 PM.

The event will be held at a Thousand Oaks, CA, USA residence and the address and directions will be given upon confirmation of reservations, which can be made by emailing TheBodhiman@buddhismteacher.com.  There is room for only 10, so please make your reservations early.

Dharma Talk with Meditation

Friday, March 6th, 2009
March 18, 2009
7:00 pmto8:30 pm
March 29, 2009
3:00 pmto4:30 pm

Encouraged by many students and friends to offer a regular monthly or weekly class for the continuation of learning and experiencing the Buddhist teaching and practice of enlightened living, as well as gaining insight and peace of mind through meditation, you are invited to attend one of the two Dharma Talk and Meditation sessions to be held in my home, either from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, Wednesday, March 18 or from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM on Sunday, March 29. 

At these first sessions, both the dharma talk and the meditation will be focused on sunyata, usually translated as “emptiness.”  While the concept of emptiness seems complex for some, it is at the heart of the Buddha’s teachings and can be simplified through the use of logic and the practice of an analytical and one-pointed meditation traditionally used in Tibetan or Vajrayana Buddhism.  This approach will be the subject of both the March 18 and March 29 sessions.  One needs only to attend one of the meetings.

Dharma: Buddhism’s Teachings

Monday, January 26th, 2009

The teachings of the Buddha are not difficult to understand, I think.  Actually, it is because we all do think that makes it easy to learn and accept the facts of life as presented in the dharma.  What is difficult, however, is the practice of what we have learned and accepted.
