[CDS] September 16: Steadying and Seeing

This week we begin a new series of teachings on calming and insight.


Dear friends,

This week we begin our new series on Samatha-Vipassana, or Calming and Insight Meditation.


We'll lay a groundwork for understanding where these practices come from, the role they play in the Buddha's teachings, and how they function. We'll also begin to explore different methods for samatha practice - "calm abiding", which is the essential companion to developing insight.


As always, feel free to invite a friend to join, or drop in, or gift someone a membership.


If you have questions, see our member FAQ or email us.


Warmly,
Oren
