Coming up at The Buddhist Center

In Person and Online

The Zoom link is - Here 

On Monday evening, we are going to expand our discussion of generosity to explore the idea of “benefactors." We’ll learn how to become sensitive and present to all of those who have made our life and learning possible and how, in-turn, to repay our “karmic debt” to them. This is an incredibly enriching conversation and one that we’ve never had before. Please join in. 

Feel free to come at 6:15 for tea and conversation.

Complete openness, ‘Zangtal’ in Tibetan, means not attached to anything, not fixating on anything. This is precisely the opposite of an ordinary person’s frame of mind clinging to and fixating on everything. The openness of Rigpa, the openness of a yogi, does not fixate on anything: it does not hold on to anything. We need to grow used to this type of openness. Let your five senses be wide open, wide awake and yet thought-free. Remain in that state, utterly open.

Contemplation of the Week - Living Openly

In the weeks to come from time to time as you go about your day, allow your mind and your heart to open up to whoever you encounter and the situation that you are in altogether. In opening up, extend a simple quality of care and tenderness to whoever comes into the space. Our mind is inherently caring. Consequently, the most immediate way to access that care is to open to the world around us. In this one gesture of openness, the intent of our path is spontaneously accomplished.
