Intro to Buddhism and Meditation:Big Heart, Big Mind September 9, 2009

These classes offer an experience of the meditations and insights of the Dharma, and include mindfulness practice in the Burmese Vipassana tradition as well as teachings in the Tibetan tradition.

We will deepen our ability to work with painful emotions and moods, enhancing optimism, patience and even-mindedness in the face of habitual tendencies toward frustration and dissatisfaction.

Dharma practice enables us to bring all our experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant, into the path of compassion and provides a tool box of practical antidotes for dysfunctional thoughts and feelings. Meditation brings clarity and awareness to our mental states, body and feelings, enhancing control over our experiences and offering us a stable and peaceful happiness that radiates outward to benefit all those with whom we come in contact.

This series is the beginning of a year long introduction to Dharma that covers all of the basic teachings of Buddhism. This set of classes can be taken by itself as a general, stand alone introduction or students can continue with the next set of classes that will follow on subsequent Wednesdays.
