Introductory Classes
Shantideva’s Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life
Instructions on how to live a life grounded in love and compassion, integrating the path to enlightenment into daily living
H. H. the Dalai Lama has often praised this text as the most important work on living with compassion and cultivating bodhichitta (the altruistic heart intent on awakening for all beings). The text is a beautiful, often moving, extensive poem in ten chapters. One of its unique features is that the majority of the text is accessible to newer students (who are deeply interested in living a life of compassion) while also being highly relevant to those who’ve been practicing for a long while.
Please Note: While this is not really a beginner’s level class and may present some unfamiliar material to newer students, all are welcome to these classes who wish to explore Buddhist teachings on living a life of deep engagement with compassion.
Weekly AM Mindfulness Meditations
Join us for a weekly, Zoom only, Mindfulness Meditation class on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30AM. The session will begin with a brief guidance which will be followed by a twenty-minute sitting meditation ending with a dedication of merit. After the meditation there will be time for a deeper discussion. If you need to leave prior to the discussion then feel free to do so.
Heather Cronin is a mindfulness meditation teacher certified by Dharma Moon and the Tibet House. Please contact her at hrcroninstudio@gmail.com with questions.
