“When relaxation develops in us, through letting go of neurosis and experiencing some sense of space and cool fresh air around us, we begin to feel good about ourselves. We feel that our existence is worthwhile. In turn we feel that our communication with others could also be worthwhile and pure and good. On the whole we begin to feel that we are not cheating anybody; we are not making anything up on the spot. We begin to feel that we are fully genuine. From that point of view, one of the basic principles of a work of art is the absence of lying. Genuine art tells the truth.“ - Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (from “Dharma Art” Seminar 1979)

*NO MEDITATION SATURDAY 4/18/26*

Sitting’s not easy (if it is you might not be doing it right). It’s been at times one of the simplest and hardest things to do in my life. Holding your mind and holding your seat with a world on fire isn’t easy (if it is you might not be doing it right). Practice helps. People help. Purpose helps. Maybe we can find those things together.

Come sit and share with us this Saturday 3/7/26 (and every other Saturday) 1:30 to 3:30 - come when you can, leave as you need, be as you are:

1:30 Settle in, tea, socialize
2:00 Buddhist Mindful Awareness Practice (Shamatha Vipashyana)
2:30: Discussion Practice (Social Meditation)
