Buddhism 101. Thursday October 15; 7:00-9:00pm
In Buddhism’s 2,500-year history, it has grown from a small religious community into a quiet, but powerful presence that spans the globe. Buddhism 101 focuses on the Buddha’s basic teachings that he delivered 2,500 years ago. We also see how state-of-the-art brain research supports the validity of this ancient wisdom. While we briefly look at the three major Buddhist groups, our emphasis remains on how we can live happier lives and cause less suffering for ourselves and others. The teachings challenge us to think in new ways about the world and the ways that each of us can create a satisfying and productive human life.
Insight Meditation Open House. Saturdays: October 10, November 7, December 12 1:30-3:00pm
Whether you are curious about meditation as a way to heal your immune system and calm your mind or you are a long term meditator who wants some fine tuning, this hour focuses on you! Scientists have proven that meditation strengthens the immune system, increases heart health, reduces stress, & slows biological aging. Beth offers an overview of insight meditation, known in Asia as Vipassana. At the heart of Insight Meditation is the practice of mindfulness – a process that cultivates a clear, non-judgmental awareness of our thoughts, and actions. Join Beth Evard, Founder of Princeton Insight Meditation for our new monthly Open House sessions. You will get the opportunity for 2 short meditation practice sittings, time for questions, and a short review of the latest mind-body meditation research. Open to beginners and experienced meditators.
There will be a peer-led day of meditation on Saturday, November 14th, at a private home in Princeton.
The schedule will include periods of sitting and walking, a break for lunch, and a recorded dharma talk. We will be in silence throughout, with a chance for sharing and discussion with tea afterwards. The first sitting will begin at 10:00am and we will finish at 5:00 or so. Lunch will be from 1:00-2:00pm. If you can't make the whole day, feel free to sit for one half or the other. If you come for the second half, plan on arriving (quietly) during the lunch period.
