Friday Meditation and Discussion
Friday evenings 7:00 – 9:00 PM
This evening is designed to encourage a friendly and casual atmosphere in support of deepening our understanding to the benefits of sharing the every day challenges of living in accordance to the eightfold path.
We begin with a thirty-five minute meditation followed by a short reflection and volunteer check-in and discussion. This class is suitable for all.
"I don't envision a single thing that, when undeveloped, leads to such great harm as the mind. The mind, when undeveloped leads to great harm."
"I don't envision a single thing that, when developed, leads to such great benefit** as the mind. The mind, when developed leads to great benefit."An 23, 24 ~The Buddha~
These evenings are led by Sakula, Mary Reinard.
Sakula and her husband reside in Portland, Or. Under the guidance of Abbots Ajahn Pasanno and Ajahn Amaro she graduated as a Lay Minister from the Abhayagiri Monastery of Northern California in 2004. In 2005 she traveled abroad to Thailand with ten fellow ministers (and partners) to pay respects to and receive the blessings of the elders of the Ajahn Chah tradition. Sakula is also advised by Ajahn Thanissaro or Wat Metta.
