Maitreya, Buddha to be
born
I have love for the footless,
for the bipeds too I have love;
I have love for those with four feet,
for the many-footed I have love.
- Buddha
Where and when does Tortoise Mountain gather?
In 2010, Tortoise Mountain
will sit reduced times. We'll meet only once a month; on the last Monday of
the month, from 7:30 to 9:30, in
Balmain. Email (below), if you have any questions. Everyone is
welcome, especially beginners.
Christopher McLean is the
Dharma Teacher on these evenings.
We will meditate for forty-five
minutes and then we'll practice mindful discussion (with a cup of tea) for the
remaining time.
The program in
2010 will be exclusively focused on DEATH AND DYING. The primary text
(and practice) for the year will be Stephen Levine's A Year to Live.
For many of us, we will be starting the practice, based on the book, on New Year's Day.
However, the first meeting of the group will be on Monday 25th January.
Please note that you need not practice
the 'Year to Live' practice, and you can simply join us to contemplate
'death and dying' at your own pace and depth.
We are an open group dedicated to exploring human life through the practice of Vipassana & Inquiry. (See Insight page & links for more on Insight Meditation.)
No membership necessary, no pledges required. It is customary to give a donation,
"dana," which is a contribution to support the continuance of Buddhist
teachings.
