Noting the precious jewel of sangha, I will be continuing my talks illuminating the Buddha’s Eightfold Path. I hope you will join me on Sept. 18 at 7:15pm PT for my Spirit Rock ONLINE Monday Night Meditation and Dharma Talk.

The Spirit Rock Monday Night sitting group is an opportunity to come together as a community to hear contemporary teachings inspired by the Buddhist tradition and to cultivate the mindfulness and compassion that are the heart of Insight Meditation. This online event is a way to stay connected to one another and to support our practice.

“If our goal in spiritual practice is some state, some open state, it would be in spiritual life like buying already open flowers instead of buds, or like adopting an adult instead of a child. To awaken the heart of a Buddha requires us to find the deepest respect and compassion for things as they are, for they way things are. There isn’t anything you can hold onto in that because it’s always changing. There is no enlightened retirement. The way things are includes the cycles of stillness and action, the times of raising a family or being a renunciate, making money or retiring—and finding somehow a way to be with what is, with the truth of change.” – Jack Kornfield
