Each day brings change, including new recommendations for containing the spread of COVID-19. We continue to adjust our practices to reflect these changed circumstances. Most of our regular classes and meditation practices continue to be offered online, via live webcasts. Read this post for details, as well as other news and information about Nalandabodhi Seattle.
Nalandabodhi Seattle and Nitartha Institute are offering several study options this fall, at Nalanda West and online. A book-study group on a classic Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche lojong text begins in October, while Introduction to Buddhism and World I: Valid Cognition got underway in September.
Looking for interesting programs that tweak your ordinary mind?
Nalanda West offers eclectic and stimulating programs in art, music and meditation. Â
Due to concerns about the coronavirus, our weekly offerings of group meditations, Tara practices and Hinayana classes are being offered remotely, via Zoom and other methods, rather than in person. Please don’t come to the center.
Sometimes our mindfulness becomes too focused, too squeezed. Squeezed attention, right? When you focus too much on mindfulness, actually that can sometimes be counterproductive.
Patience isn’t the opposite of impatience as one might think. It is the opposite of anger, aggression. As our teachers often remind us, a moment of anger wipes out tonnes of merit.
