The No-Phone Hour —imagine that! Take a break from screen insanity (say bye to FOMO) and make friends with yourself profoundly. Learn how to meditate. Meditation is a way of being— alert, relaxed, and in tune with how things really are. We “sit” to quiet the mind and come home to our basic goodness. Nothing could be more useful and compassionate in these hyperbolic times.

Meditation instruction and practice is interlaced with written commentary by renowned Tibetan Buddhist masters.

Zoom into Dharma. Loneliness and the anguish it brings skyrocketed during the pandemic. This course uses wisdom tools to deal with the wrenching of our social norms and offers a fresh perspective on loneliness, one that’s upbeat and practical.

Weekly sessions include meditation and readings from Magic Dance by Thinley Norbu.

Extraordinary Ordinariness. How can we unlock the treasure of contentment in daily life? Our dualistic fixation on “self” and “other” breeds attachment and aversion, guaranteeing dissatisfaction. So let’s examine the belief in a truly existing self, and go beyond it to the liberating secret jewel of mind: pristine awareness.

Teachings on impermanence, bodhicitta, guru yoga, and the nature of mind. Main text: Words of My Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche.

Way of sitting for centuries (without blinking).
