Meditation

Just Keep Looking at Your Mind

What’s recommended is that if you have a good experience, don’t get too excited. And if you have a bad experience, don’t mistake it for a serious deviation or a sidetrack that you have to find your way back from. If you have a bad experience, just continue practicing as you were. In other words, whatever happens, just keep looking at your mind.

— Thrangu Rinpoche, Pointing Out the Dharmakaya, pg. 73

Meditation is a system for deeply familiarizing yourself with how the mind works in general, and for developing a more authentic and compassionate outlook on life. It is based on the radical idea that the natural state of the mind is not scattered, nervous, and confused, but rather calm, creative, and clear. Practicing regularly provides a way to settle into this natural state more often.

Because you bring it with you everywhere you go, developing a healthier and more complete relationship with your own mind might just be the most important thing you ever do.

Meditation instruction is available to anyone, free of charge. We offer introductory instruction to newcomers and follow-up instruction to other practitioners as part of our weekly gathering and at other times by appointment.
