Monday nights for the next 11 months are devoted to teaching students about the 7 Meditations.  Last night we started the first one, fitting the physical and mental levels into each other and the act of sitting. Then there wil be Shamatha, then a refinement of the first one, then Insight Meditation, and onto Open Mind, Pure Mind, and finally beginning Dzogchen.

For the month of December Rinpoche will commit himself to shoring up the new directions and forms the sagha will take.

Houston, we have lift off. I'm going for a ride....
