SUMMARY:Study Weekend in Barre\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Liberating mind and heart: Practice and study of Loving-kindness\nwith Shaila Catherine. \nLoving-kindness (mettā) is a profound quality of friendliness that leads to what is known as immeasurable liberation of mind. As a practice\, mettā heals the heart\, meets the pains of life with sensitivity\, strengthens inner serenity to support concentration\, and finally culminates in a liberating release of self-interest\, sensual craving\, and attachment. This program will include both study and practice components to explore the dynamic role that mettā plays on the liberating path. The study component will examine how mettā is presented in the early discourses of the Buddha\, including how mettā can be used as a skillful way of meeting abuse; nurturing social harmony; overcoming anger\, ill will\, and aversion; cultivating concentration; nurturing joy; and ultimately supporting insight. The practice component will develop the heartfelt wish that all beings be happy and well\, beginning with ourselves and gradually expanding the field of loving-kindness to embrace those we love and those we find difficult to love\, until this caring radiates to all beings without exception. \nRegistration is required.\nFor more information visit https://www.bcbsdharma.org

SUMMARY:Day Long in Saratoga: Investigating the Nature of Mind
DESCRIPTION:A day of meditation with Shaila Catherine. \nAlthough meditation is renowned for promoting tranquility and mental calmness\, meditation is not passive. Investigative methods play a vital role in the skillful development of liberating insight. \nThis day-long program will introduce methods for investigating the nature of mind. It is part of a six-month series of day-long events devoted to nurturing meditative investigation skills\, and exploring the nature of mind and body\, suffering and its causes. Each day-long event stands on its own\, and newcomers are always welcome. Beginners are especially encouraged to attend the morning sessions when more meditation instruction is offered. \nThis day-long program will include sitting and walking meditation\, instructions\, teachings\, and opportunities for individual meetings with the teacher. This practice day is appropriate for new and experienced meditators\, drop-in participants\, and dedicated Walking the Path members. \nThere will be a pot-luck community meal at 12:30; please bring a food dish to share. \nEveryone is welcome. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor.
