Sunday Morning Meditation Practice
Led by Venerable Losang Samten, or by one of our senior teaching students when Losang-la is out of town, mantra meditation, shamatha (calm abiding) meditation, Vajrayana guided meditations and visualizations, and traditional Buddhist prayers typically comprise the first hour of our Sunday mornings. Then, following a short break for light snacks and light conversation, we continue for a second hour of Dharma practice and teachings, often on a given text, and animated by lively discussion, friendly debate, questions and answers. Our Sunday mornings are truly wonderful. A donation of $10 for non-members is suggested.
While Rinpoche is on his annual summer retreat in Dharmsala, India (returning August 7th), our Sundays bloom under the guidance of our senior teaching students and friends. With their typically more modest size, our 'summer sanghas' are uniquely wonderful, and an excellent way to practice the dharma in the company of good friends.
