SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member\, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth. \nEach week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.” \nHas any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse\, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear\, guilt and hatred\, suspicion and divisiveness? \nWhether a beginner\, a student of many years\, or an on-again/off again inquirer\, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together\, is love manifest. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/96121486527?pwd=yGb8KTplkphzCL5uuOh85wkEMuZERj.1

SUMMARY:Buddhist Meditation Group (Tibetan Vajrayana)
DESCRIPTION:Buddhist practice is not about retreating from our lives or rejecting the things that bring us meaning and joy. Rather\, it is about cultivating our natural capacity for unconditional well-being; a well-being that is not dependent on external circumstances. \nThis unconditional well-being is not withdrawn\, neutral\, or indifferent. It is brimming with warmth and care for all beings. It is the source of universal love and compassion\, what Buddhists call bodhicitta. It is not something we attain or manufacture; it is what we fundamentally are. The practices of this tradition help us identify and remove our internal impediments so that our innate enlightened nature can begin to outshine our habitual ways of thinking and relating to ourselves and others. \nThese weekly gatherings include meditation practice and discussion grounded in the teachings of contemporary meditation masters within the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition. Our emphasis is on integrating meditation into daily life and embodying loving-kindness and compassion in action. Each session includes guided and silent meditation\, along with time for reflection and conversation. \nFacilitated by Ben Draper\, a longtime dharma practitioner and student of Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche. \nOpen to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member\, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth. \nEach week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.” \nHas any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse\, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear\, guilt and hatred\, suspicion and divisiveness? \nWhether a beginner\, a student of many years\, or an on-again/off again inquirer\, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together\, is love manifest. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/96121486527?pwd=yGb8KTplkphzCL5uuOh85wkEMuZERj.1
