“Deepening our Practice.”
Zoom Meditation Workshop
Sunday, March 29, 2-3 pm
“If a man is crossing a river
And an empty boat collides with his own skiff,
Even though he be a bad-tempered man
He will not become very angry.
But if he sees a man in the boat,
He will shout at him to steer clear.
If the shout is not heard, he will shout again,
And yet again, and begin cursing.
And all because there is somebody in the boat.
Yet if the boat were empty.
He would not be shouting, and not angry.
If you can empty your own boat
Crossing the river of the world,
No one will oppose you,
No one will seek to harm you.” Chuang Tzu
Please join me in our silent sitting practice. In this session we will explore the topic of emptying our own “boat.” Is it possible to simply observe the mental chatter that seems to obstruct our peace? Will this simple observing be an aid to the emptying of our “boat?” We will have two twenty-minute periods of silent sitting practice. This workshop will also include readings to encourage our practice. Beginners as well as more “seasoned” practitioners are welcome. Peace, Roy
This is a donation-based workshop starting at a minimum of $5.
