In Person and Online

The Buddhist Center Website

Weekly Zoom Link

On Monday evening, we'll start by introducing two practices that work with the breath as a support for our meditation practice. Then we'll explore the "learning edge" of our meditation practice and the path itself. We'll shed light on our own path, our aspirations, our inspirations and the way forward. This will be a most interesting discussion. Please join in.

All are welcome to come at 6:15 for tea and conversation

Here is the recording of last week's teaching.

Contemplation of the Week - The Power of Appreciation

In the days to come, upon waking, when you go to sleep, or at anytime during the day, take a moment to bring to mind a sense of appreciation for all that we have. Remind yourself of the fact that your whole life has been made possible by the help of others. Take a moment to appreciate your health, your home, your friends, your family, the world around you. Appreciation lights up our world. It uplift us, it energizes us, and reminds us of just how fortunate we are to have this precious birth and all of the opportunities we have to learn, to grow and to wake up. Our whole life is a reminder of our good fortune, even those difficult times that brought out greater resilience and capacity in us. Appreciation is a simple, yet transformative acknowledgment of the truth.
