SUMMARY:Half-Day Meditation | Los Altos | Focus on View
DESCRIPTION:A meditation program with Shaila Catherine\nTopic: Dawn of the Liberating Path: Focus on the Role of View\nThe Buddha teaches that\, just as the dawn precedes the rising sun\, developing certain qualities prepares us for the path of liberation.

SUMMARY:Half-Day Meditation | Los Altos | Focus on Desire
DESCRIPTION:A meditation program with Shaila Catherine\nTopic: Dawn of the Liberating Path: Focus on the Role of Desire\nThe Buddha teaches that\, just as the dawn precedes the rising sun\, developing certain qualities prepares us for the path of liberation. Seven of these qualities are highlighted in the Samyutta Nikaya (SN 45:49-90): good friends\, virtue\, desire\, completeness of mind\, view\, diligence\, and careful attention.
