Each class can be attended on its own, no prior experience is needed.  

7/6 Jason – Living Your Life in Color
The reason death and impermanence is a “go-to” meditation for me is from my confidence in how it positively affects my mind whenever I do it. It really is that simple. I remember Gen-la Dekyong saying in a teaching once, “if you really want to live your life in color instead of black and white, do death meditation every day”.

7/13 Bob – Basics of Meditation Part 1
I have always wanted to teach the basics of meditation class because that is the foundation of everything else we learn in Buddhism. It is both very simple and also very important.

7/20 Jason – Our Job is to Cultivate Love
I love the meditation on exchanging self with others because it opposes something in me that I’ve explored deeply and identified as needing to be removed. That, combined with the assigned task in the meditation break to basically make loving people your job every day is all I need to get excited about this one.

8/10 Bob – Basics of Meditation Part 2

8/17 Nancy – Protection You Can Rely On
I am happy to teach the Sunday class “Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels.”  This is a core Buddhist teaching and practice, and my understanding and practice of it grows and deepens everytime I remember it. I am happy to pass on some of these teachings to others for inspiration.
