“Through the practice of meditation, we can learn
to be without deception, to be fully genuine and alive.”
— Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Tibetan Buddhist lama and writer (1939-1987)
“Mindfulness helps you go home to the present.
And every time you go there, happiness awaits.”
— Thích Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist monk and activist (1926–2022)
The concept of mindfulness has been around for 2600 years, when the Buddha taught it to anyone wishing to achieve freedom from suffering. It’s since travelled from the East to the West and passed from teacher to student . . . to this day.
Mindfulness meditation can be learned by anyone. It can help calm the monkey mind, open ways of coping with life’s many obstacles, and generate compassion and loving-kindness for ourselves and others. A rich body of academic research points to the potential for metal and physical health.
Grounded in a vow to be of service, I offer —
- Weekly guided meditation sessions for 30 minutes by Zoom.
- What begun in response to the chaos of the pandemic in 2000, recently passed the 650-mark.
- Beginners (by any definition) are welcome to drop-in anytime and return as often as desired. No sign-up required.
- A growing list of recorded meditations to be downloaded and shared for personal use.
- My e-book contains 195+ prayers and verses from many religious and secular traditions. They may be downloaded and printed for reading at the bedside of people who’re ill or near death.
All this at no charge.
