Date details +

     

    This five part series is about experiencing wisdom and how to cultivate the skill of well-being. Each video is from the Science of Meditation Summit held in 2016 by the Shambhala Mountain Center and features Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche; Dr. Rick Hanson; Dr. Matthieu Ricard; Dr. Dan Siegel; Ven. Thubten Chodron; Gaylon Ferguson and many others.

    It presents teachings from both modern science and the Buddhist tradition about the time-tested practice of meditation. This summit provides information and inspiration to all those who wish to create a society based on compassion and wisdom.

    The presentation will be followed by a discussion. (with tea and cookies!)


    There will be 15 minutes meditation at the beginning and at the end of the session.



    $5 suggested donation per night for the Centre.
