TOPIC: Impermanence and Freedom from Suffering
HYBRID: In-Person and Online
6:00-7:45pm MST
led by IMT Dharma Leader,
David Bornstein
The cancellation of this weekend's retreat, due to conditions beyond anyone's control, has David reflecting on the Buddha’s teaching of impermanence. The Buddha referred to impermanence, anicca, as one of the Three Marks of Existence. The more deeply we understand this natural law, the less we suffer.
This weekly gathering supports continuity of practice with a community of like-minded people. The intention is to bring these valuable teachings of the Buddha into practical applications in our daily lives.
The evening includes a 30-minute sitting meditation, a dharma talk, and discussion or interactive exercises. Open to those new to practice as well as those with an established mindfulness practice.
NEW TIME
Now that we are meeting in person once again, we are extending the class by 15 minutes to allow more space and time for discussion. We find this to be such a rich part of our practice together. If you need to leave by 7:30, we will understand.
