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.

There's no better place to understand Southern Oregon's railroad history than at the Medford Railroad Park and no one better to tell tales about railroad logging than Jerry Hellinga. In the early 1900s the railroad was the backbone of the logging industry, carrying millions of board feet from the dense forests of the Upper Rogue to the Medford mills.

This program is sponsored by the Gold Hill Historical Society thanks in part to an Oregon Heritage grant in 2024. The Gold Hill Historical Society Museum is located at 504 1st Avenue in Gold Hill and is open Thursday – Saturday, from noon to 4p.
