UPCOMING CLASSES Tiger Series ClassesJanuary 13, 2009 - February 17, 2009 In the Tiger series classes, there is study of how meditation experience is deepened through the cultivation of contentment and simplicity. We will explore the foundational views of the hinayana Buddhist teachings, and meditation in action for daily life. Through understanding the painful conditions and emotions that keep us trapped in habitual patterns, we can open to our inherent goodness and express the qualities of the Tiger: gentleness, appreciation and steadiness.
