CLOSED - for New Year’s Day

“You have an inclination: In the flash of one second, you feel what needs to be done. It is not a product of your education; it is not scientific or logical; you simply pick up on the message. And then you just act: You just do it. That basic human quality of suddenly opening up is the best part of human instinct.”

– Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

SPECIAL PROGRAM: Lovingkindness Meditation with Sharon Salzberg

SPECIAL PROGRAM: Lovingkindness Meditation with Sharon Salzberg

  • Workshop (2 -4:30 PM)
  • $30 *Suggested Donation (pay online or at the door)
  • Eileen Fisher Headquarters in Irvington
  • Sunday, December 18, 2016

Metta is the word for friendship or lovingkindness in Pali, the language of the original Buddhist teachings. It is taught as a meditation that cultivates our natural capacity for an open and loving heart. With its roots in practices said to be taught by the Buddha himself, metta is traditionally offered along with meditations that enrich compassion, joy in the happiness of others and equanimity. These practices lead to the development of concentration, fearlessness, happiness and a greater ability to love.

Sharon will introduce these teachings and support us in our own experience and cultivation of these qualities through direct instruction and guided meditation using classical techniques in a modern idiom. There will also be opportunities for questions.
