The Victoria Shambhala Centre invites you to join us for
a series of six talks on DVD
Pema Chődron
“Choosing a Fresh Alternative”
Tuesday evenings in May & June 2009
Sitting practice from 7 pm – 8 pm, followed by the talk
May 5 Practice the Three Difficulties. Acknowledging that you're hooked; doing something different; and making this a way of life. Becoming enthusiastic about not sowing the seeds of suffering.
May 12 Shenpa and the Pause. Emphasis on 'acknowledging that you are hooked'. The eight worldly dharmas.
May 19 Karmic Seeds. Sowing seeds in the basic ground of alaya. Burning up the sees of resistance. Connecting with the immediacy of our experience.
May 26 Loving-Kindness to Ourselves. Giving your full, direct attention to anything is the same as expressing loving-kindness. Gentleness. Access to the vast blue sky.
June 2 Bringing Together Practice with the Teachings. The different degrees of shenpa when we're meditating. Working with hope and fear.
June 9 Choosing a Fresh Alternative. "Do something different". Be curious.
A donation of $5.00 for each session
would be appreciated
