Tashi Delek to all brothers and sisters,

 

Please find attached the notice of our upcoming group practice on 16th July. Below is the program for that day and please remember to do your reading before coming to the group practice.

 

 

 

 

Series I – Calming the Mind - The View

 

Part III – The Problem is the Solution:

Transforming Adversity into Awareness 

Points to Consider

Once we learn to meditate, all aspects of our experience, including habitual thoughts, destructive emotions, and physical ailments, can be used as a support for meditation. In doing so, they can be transformed into sources of inner peace, empathy, and wisdom.

 

Questions for Discussion

1. How do we typically relate to "difficult" situations, feelings, and people? How do these habitual reactions lock us into a cycle of stress and dissatisfaction?

 

2. What does it actually mean to "befriend" our problems? How does meditation help us do this? Are we befriending our problem if we do so in order to get rid of them? 

 

Daily Meditation Exercises

 

On the cushion: Rest you mind in open awareness. If any experience arises that there is a reaction to, see if you can relax and let these experiences be included in your meditation.

 

Off the cushion: Pick a habitual response in your life, i.e. fear of dogs, irritation with a person or situation, etc… and make an effort to be aware of it without trying to change it, just be aware.
