Tomorrow:
Half Day of Zen with Jisho
"Being with Old Age, Sickness and Death"
April 17th, 1:30 - 3:30pm

Buddha left the palace and began to seek a path to liberation from suffering upon seeing old age, sickness and death. Each of us has our own path with sitting with these three realities. Just when we think we have mastered the fear and anxiety around them, they crop up differently again. This has felt particularly present for many during COVID. We will explore Buddhist teachings about reverence for life, impermanence and non-clinging in this retreat; we will explore practices that may help us to sit with old age, sickness and death in ourselves and others.

UPDATES:

This week there will be NO Friday meditation class with Khenpo Paljor. Khenpo has encouraged us to meditate on our own in order to maintain a consistent practice. Meditation class will resume next Friday, April 16th at 7pm CST via zoom.

Also, This week, we finished our group practice of Guru Rinpoche and dedicated all of our shared merit to the benefit of all sentient beings. Thank you to everyone who participated in the group practice of Guru Rinpoche this past year. Khenpo encourages us to continue with this sadhana as part of our own personal practices as the benefit is immeasurable.

We are committed in our efforts to be able to provide a safe environment for in-person classes and our team is busy working together to re-open the center. Please stay posted as all information will be provided in the newsletter and here on Facebook.

Thanks!
