SUMMARY:Meditation and Dharma Talk with Mary Stancavage: Eightfold Path—Wise Speech—IN-PERSON & ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:We hope this finds you safe and well and we’re very grateful for your presence and participation in our community. \nPlease join us today as we continue our 8-week Dharma journey exploring the Noble Eightfold Path—the path that leads from suffering toward greater ease with life\, and ultimately to complete freedom\, Nibbāna. \nTogether we will explore the Buddha’s teachings on both the why and the how of practice: Wisdom and Intention; Wise Speech\, Wise Action\, and Wise Livelihood; Energy\, Mindfulness\, and Concentration. As these qualities are cultivated in lived practice\, they support one another\, gradually nourishing clarity\, integrity\, and freedom in the heart and mind. \nThis Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk will be held from 10:30 a.m. until noon **In-Person at the Mizell Center** and simultaneously live *Online via Zoom*. Everyone is welcome. \nThere will be time for meditation\, a dharma (teaching) talk by one of our regular or guest teachers\, and time for your comments and questions. \nAbout the Teacher: Mary Stancavage \nDana \nCost: Donation basis. There is no charge to attend the Sunday Meditation and Dharma Talk. Please consider making a donation at desertinsight.org to support our teachers and community.

SUMMARY:Online Weekly Metta Meditation with Ian Challis and Friends
DESCRIPTION:When the Buddha’s followers felt anxious and afraid\, he taught them the practice of metta or lovingkindness meditation. Metta is a form of practice that helps us touch deeply into our own hearts\, uncover the energies of kindness and compassion\, and share these energies for the benefit of all beings.   \nIf you would like to explore this powerful practice\, please join Ian Challis and friends online. These 45-minute meetings will be practice-focused\, with most of the time spent in meditation. If you are new to the practice\, great! We will learn by doing. After practice\, there will be time for questions and sharing. \nCost: Donation basis; there is no charge to participate. Our center and teachers are supported by your generosity.
