For one who is virtuous, non-remorse will arise. For one free of remorse, gladness will arise which leads to joy. The body will be serene, one will feel happiness, the mind will be concentrated. It is a natural law for one with a concentrated mind to know and see things as they really are.
~ Shakyamuni Buddha
In this evening talk, we’ll explore the intimate relationship between how we live our lives each day and our meditation and spiritual practice. In Buddhism, integrating the Path in everyday life is the Path itself. The Buddha understood and taught that all things are non-dual and every action has consequence. That is, what we do and what we experience are not two. When ignored or not understood, our lives will continue to turn in painful cycles. When practiced with clear awareness, it becomes the basis and motivation for a transformed life.
Entry is by koha / donation.
To support the health of those attending, if you have cold or flu symptoms, please stay home.
