Awake, Calm and Peaceful:
On the first Tuesday of each month, for the next eight months, there will be a one -hour class on an aspect of bhavana (mental cultivation) to guide you in establishing a regular meditation practice that will help you cultivate tranquility and with it, the establishment of non-reactive awareness in day-to-day situations. The classes on the first Tuesday of each month will be in person at Karuna Cottage in Gainesville, FL and also livestreamed on Google Meet. Each class will be recorded.
Cultivating Tranquility and Non-Reactive Awareness: Complementary to these classes, a one -hour meditation session with a meditation Q and A immediately afterward will be livestreamed on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th (and if there is a 5th) Tuesdays at 6 pm (Florida/EDST). This will be on Google Meet from Bhava Nirodha Nilaya Dhammasālā in Fort White, FL. The meditation sessions will not be recorded.
There are no easy pathways to a state of tranquility and clear awareness. It involves personal energy, personal effort and a desire to understand. It involves sincere introspection. Attendance at each class and session, while voluntary, is highly recommended. These classes are meant for sincere practitioners. They are open to everyone worldwide. They are offered free because the Dhamma is priceless. If you wish to support Ayyā Mārajinā donations are accepted at https://givebutter.com/BhavaNirodha
