The Path of Understanding, Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024, 7 PM
"The advanced education in Tantra has to do with the entrance into samadhi, the negation of the self. Not the negation of life, but the negation of limited states of mind, the negation of anything that is not enlightenment, which is the self." - Rama, The Path of Understanding

Folding the Mind, by Jeffrey Cohodas, teaches self-discovery as a series of short stories and pragmatic techniques that we can all use to elevate our state of mind. This book combines many years of studying self-discovery, teaching self-discovery, and serious reflection on the nature of reality. You can read the book the whole way through or just enjoy any topic as it comes up. Highly recommended! More at FoldingTheMind.com.

In Rama Live! Talks and Workshops, Rama delivered 17 talks to a live audience between 1982 - 1985. Topics ranged from Meditation and Dharma to Psychic Self-Defense and Reincarnation and the Tibetan Rebirth Process. I was in the audience and listened eagerly to his wisdom and humor.

Overcoming Election Anxiety
As we approach the November 5th US national election, many people are experiencing a shared sense of election anxiety - the fear of an outcome far outside their comfort zone.

Our October 10th webinar will share insider stories along with proven mindfulness and meditation techniques. You'll have the chance to step back from your own concerns and view this election through the lens of Buddhist wisdom, helping you approach the run-up and outcome with a more hopeful, detached, nonjudgmental, and clear-headed perspective.

With the guidance of qualified, mindful panel members steeped in the political cauldron, you can experience a new level of awareness as we face an election that may be like no other in terms of its potential impact on our lives and those with whom we share a destiny
