We practice a form of Buddhist meditation called Vipassana or Insight practice. Metta practice Mon. 6p-7p. Meditation & discussion Wed. 6:15p-7:45p.

The Jackson Insight Meditation Group practices a form of Buddhist meditation called Vipassana or Insight practice. We use recorded talks by teachers mostly from the Seattle Insight Meditation Society's website www.seattleinsight.org. The Insight group meets regularly each Wednesday night from 6:30- 8 PM and also each Monday from 6- 7 PM. On Monday we do a Metta or "loving-kindness" practice, which is a guided practice- for the second half of the hour, for the first half we sit in silent meditation. This is a good place to start if you are a beginner. Basic instruction in settling the mind and body can be offered during the Monday meeting. If you are new to meditation and would like to join the group, you are welcome to come to the Monday Metta practice and you can message us here to set up a one to one meeting at the Dojo for basic meditation instruction. Insight Meditation or Vipassanna is a Buddhist tradition that comes from Southeast Asia. It is well established in this country with centers in many major cities. There are many American teachers in this tradition that began their practices decades ago and are now seasoned and mature teachers. Our group follows talks by Rodney Smith, the resident teacher for the Insight Meditation Center of Seattle Washington and talks by other teachers featured by the Seattle Insight Meditation Society, www.seattleinsight.org. On Wednesday nights we sit for 45 minutes and either listen to a recorded Dharma talk or we have a discussion of the talk we heard the week before. We have found that without grounding in the basic teaching and/or prior experience with practice, people often have difficulty understanding the practice and sometimes give up rather quickly. If you are a beginner and want to learn about meditation practice, we recommend spending some time with an Introductory Course. There are several available online. We recommend one by Rodney Smith www.seattleinsight.org or one by Tara Branch, available on her website, www.tarabranch.com. It will give you the best start possible.

“My mind has no peace as yet! I beg you, master, please pacify my mind!”
