Good evening dear friends
We have had a wonderful four months practicing with the Four Establishments of Mindfulness. Last week Susu offered a wonderful Dharma Talk as we completed practicing with Mindfulness of Objects of Mind in Objects of Mind. As part of our second hour she presented a segment of a talk by Senior Dharma Teacher Larry Ward: The Four Establishments of Mindfulness : Tools for Consciously Transforming the Colonial Mind.
In April we will continue our practice of bringing mindfulness practice into the areas of social justice, diversity, de-colonization and anti-racism work.
The first Thursday of the month – April 1st – we will recite the Contemplations on the Five Mindfulness Trainings, A New Paradigm For Racial Justice and the Global Pandemic. Our Dharma discussion will allow for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour to meet separately in break out groups and then to meet again in the full Sangha for discussion.
The next four weeks will include teachings on mindfulness practice and social justice, including more of Larry Ward’s two-part teaching.
DAY OF MINDFULNESS EASTER SUNDAY (April 4th)
We will be offering a Zoom Day of Mindfulness from 10 am to 3 pm this coming Sunday. We will have our usual practices of sitting and walking meditation, Sutra Service, Formal Lunch, Dharma talk and Dharma discussion with possible deep relaxation and outdoor walking (on our own or through the magic of youTube).
