Thursday Drop-in Meditation Classes

Death, Impermanence & Emptiness

​
Thursdays in October, 7-8:15pm

We generally don't see the point in thinking about our own death. We feel it will get in the way of life's enjoyments and only serve to bring us down. The truth is that acknowledging our own impermanence will give us a new appreciation for each day and allow us to prepare skillfully for the inevitable so that we no longer fear it.  

 

In this series, we will also get a taste of Buddha's most profound teaching that leads to permanent freedom from all pain and problems. These teachings are called "ultimate truth," "emptiness," and "the middle way." With Buddhist nun and Resident Teacher Gen Chöyang.

​

These classes are suitable for both beginners and more experienced meditators. Classes are self-contained, so feel free to drop in at any point in the series. Everyone is welcome!
