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. 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. This monthly Saturday series will explore these qualities and how they support and prepare us to engage and practice fully in a liberating path. \nMarch 22\, 2025 — Good Friends\nApril 26\, 2025 — Virtue\nMay 31\, 2025 — Desire\nAugust 23\, 2025 — Diligence\nSeptember 27\, 2025 — Careful Attention\nOctober 25\, 2025 — Completeness of Mind\nNovember 15\, 2025 — View \nThis half-day meditation program will nurture the development of mindfulness\, concentration\, and full awareness in activities.

SUMMARY:Half-Day Meditation | Los Altos | Focus on Good Friends
DESCRIPTION:A meditation program with Shaila Catherine\nTopic: Dawn of the Liberating Path: Focus on the Role of Good Friends\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. This monthly Saturday series will explore these qualities and how they support and prepare us to engage and practice fully in a liberating path. \nMarch 22\, 2025 — Good Friends\nApril 26\, 2025 — Virtue\nMay 31\, 2025 — Desire\nJune 28\, 2025 — Completeness of Mind\nJuly 26\, 2025 — View\nAugust 23\, 2025 — Diligence\nSeptember 27\, 2025 — Careful Attention \nThis half-day meditation program will nurture the development of mindfulness\, concentration\, and full awareness in activities. We teach classic Buddhist approaches that enhance attention skills\, bring mindfulness to meet the everyday experiences\, and cultivate deep calm and liberating wisdom. \nThe program will include sitting and walking meditation\, and meditation instructions.
