Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva with Christina Monson

A global pandemic, a growing climate crisis, a deepening social divide and a looming election and its moral reckoning in the United States are forcing us to confront uncertainty in unprecedented ways.

These circumstances are revealing impermanence and interdependence, two of Buddhism’s most important teachings, in felt experiences of stress and trauma that become increasingly difficult to ignore. Mindfulness, a powerful meditation technique taught by Buddha, enables us to develop a compassionate relationship to our experience and as such lays a foundation for healing and transformation.

Mind-training, a practice followed by Buddhist practitioners in different forms for centuries, uproots habitual thinking patterns based on the erroneous belief that the world exists in the way we think it does. Join us as we integrate mindfulness with mind-training techniques in exploring the seminal teaching by Gyalse Tokme Zangpo, The Thirty-Seven Practices of All the Bodhisattvas.

The program will be held over four evenings; Friday and Saturday, October 16 and 17, then October 23 and 24. Each session will begin at 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Mountain time.
