Please come and turn this subject over in this podcast!

    Bramaviharas - part 2 (empathetic joy and equanimity)

    As many of you may have heard, we did have a fire at our Tassajara monastery, and the meditation hall burned down. I'll talk a little bit about what's going on there at the beginning of the meeting tonight. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the fire was contained and did not spread beyond the meditation hall. Tonight's topic will be the second half of the Brahma Viharas: empathetic joy and equanimity. Tassajara Zendo Fire Late at night on March 26, a fire broke out in the Tassajara zendo. While no one was hurt, the entire building burned to the ground. To help keep the community informed, a blog post was created as a central source for information on the fire and where we are going from here. It will be updated with new information as it becomes available, including the impact on the Summer Guest Season and Summer Student Program. Deep bows of appreciation to all who have sent in their heartfelt condolences, memories, and donations. Visit the Tassajara Zendo Fire Blog Updates. Fire Donation

    The Four Brahmavihārās - pt 1 (of 2) - Loving Kindness & Compassion

    Michael McCord leads tonight’s talk about The Four Brahmavihārās. This is part 1 of a 2 part series which focuses on the Brahmavihārās “Loving Kindness” & “Compassion.” In a world that can be  aggressive, combative, competitive, how do these traits work not only with those we love and trust but towards the world in general?  And how do they manifest in us, through a decision? Cultivation? Simple awareness?
