Join us for guided meditation in the style of Thich Nhat Hanh. "Breathing in, I am aware of breathing in......Breathing out, I am aware of breathing out." With the mindfulness bell and guided phrases leading into silent sitting meditation, the tensions of mind and body release.
Our Monday meditations are facilitated by studiers of Thay, some of whom have been fortunate to attend retreats with this world peace leader and master teacher and his monastics and Dharma Teachers. Please join us. Newcomers and those from all traditions are welcome.
Hosted by:
Northshore Rising Sun Sangha hosts several sessions per week at various locations in this tradition, for men and women, including this Monday women's group. Visit http://risingsunsangha.weebly.com/
We are reading Silence: The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise, by Thich Hnat Hanh. No advanced reading is expected. Extra copies are avaialable when we meet.
This is not a formal book study. You can always show up on Mondays at noon to meditate and share fellowship (also called “Sangha” in this tradition) whether you’ve read the book or not. Join in at any time.
We also share the practice of reciting the Five Mindfulness Trainings usually on the first Monday of each month, with meditation and reflection on how they affect our lives and point to our collective awakening.
Our meditation group is open to women--beginners and experienced meditators. While based in Zen Buddhism, all faiths are welcome, and most secular meditators are comfortable with our practices as well.
If you choose to get the book, here’s a link: https://www.parallax.org/product/nothing-to-it-ten-ways-to-be-at-home-with-yourself/
