This Saturday we have our regular half-day of sitting and walking meditation from 9:00am until 12:30. We usually do 30 minutes of sitting alternating with 30 minutes of walking but that may change if there is an unusual weather event.

Come for some, or come for all…

Next Tuesday we will be discussing the three characteristics: impermanence, suffering and not-self. There are many resources on the web, here are some talks to start with:

Three Characteristics and their supports a talk by Gil Fronsdal

We have a bonus Tuesday night this month.
 
For our consideration…the next talk in Joseph Goldstein’s exploration of the Satipatthana Sutta. We listened to his introduction last month. Here is a link to the entire series.
 
I love this teaching as it incorporates so many threads of practice and is so accessible and personal.
Enjoy!
