Join us for a deeper look at the Buddha’s original instruction on mindfulness and meditation through intensive exploration of the Satipatthana Sutta. We will use the ancient text, modern commentary and discussion.
****
Mindfulness is the cornerstone of Buddhist practice. The Buddha’s instruction through the Satipatthana Sutta helps us develop the necessary foundation for mindfulness practice and ultimately, liberation. This sutta study group will be intensive and will include assigned readings, practices, and written work, which will be discussed in each group meeting.
****
While the group will have a general structure and plan, it will be flexible to meet the needs of group members. The group is free and open to all. Individual meetings with the group leader can be arranged as needed for further clarification and discussion. We will meet weekly for 10 sessions starting May 2nd from 6 – 8 pm.
