Liberation Park August meetings

La Crosse area Friends: Wednesday meditation & Dhamma inquiry

August sessions:  2nd and 16th at Wesley UMC  

 

August 2nd -- Wesley UMC at King & 8th (see important details below)

We will convene this Wednesday for a silent meditation and conversation on aligning our lives with the Dhamma of Awakening and the practice of the Middle Way. 

A question for your reflection: How do the various facets of right intention guide our practice of mindfulness in daily life?

Our framework for this year is the noble eightfold path and middle way. We often ask how the path can ground and guide us midst the challenges, storms, and provocations swirling around us and inside us. What are the realities of being mindful, kind, responsive, and imperturbable midst the sorrows and the joys?

In the original presentation, the path is a harmonious weaving of 8 strands of Rightness that culminates in Right Knowing and Liberation.

Location information -- Important!  The church doors will be locked. The evening's hosts will arrive early to set up and meet you at the door. Please use the 721 King Street entrance, where one of us will be waiting to greet you. Knock if you don't see anyone. There will be plenty of parking on the street. The church also has parking space off of 8th St. 

Meditation starts at 6:30 pm. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before then. The "Lounge" where we will be meeting has many chairs. If you prefer to sit on the floor, please bring your own mat and cushion.
