At Calm Abiding Sundays during this year, we are considering challenges that face American and global communities.

It is customary to be upbeat around New Year’s, but how can we do so without dabbling in denial about our larger situation?

Can we make or renew commitments to face what we fear?

Can we consider ways to stretch our personal efforts to change the world this year?

Can we act to benefit beings directly each day?

Join Lama Yeshe after Calm Abiding meditation, and add your voice to the discussion.

All are welcome. Join us in person or via Zoom. (For Zoom link contact: office@kscashland.org)

About Calm Abiding Meditation:
This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.

“From this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.” From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche
