Lotus Circle Community
Session One
Shamatha Meditation
Clarity, concentration and metacognition -
Setting up the proper conditions for awakening.
Our first session of the monthly Lotus Circle will establish the basis for meditation instructions at SBLMS. With the help of The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa - Ekai Roshi will lead this 3 hour offering devoted to establishing a meditation practice with clarity as well as a metacognative approach that allows one to monitor one’s own progress on the cushion.
The Lotus Circle Community is a global circle of committed practitioners within Shining Bright Lotus Meditation Society. It is open to those who are committed to study and who wish to continue walking the Bodhisattva path in everyday life, supported by a community of shared vow.
