This Sunday: Alexa Redner
Working skillfully with distracting and challenging thoughts.
Sunday, July 12
10:00am - 12:00pm
Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom
Please join us this Sunday, July 12 as Alexa Redner leads the Sunday program. Alexa will offer a Dharma reflection on Working skillfully with distracting and challenging thoughts: Drawing on a series of three teachings from the Middle Length Discourses of the Pāli Canon, the Buddha describes the nature of thought proliferation, the difference between wholesome and unwholesome thoughts, and how to work skillfully with unwholesome thoughts as they arise in the mind. This talk will explore skillful means for working with sticky, repetitive and obsessive patterns of thinking.
The morning will include guided and silent meditation, a Dharma talk, and time for discussion and community practice. All are welcome, whether new to meditation or experienced practitioners.
