We live in a world that encourages multi-tasking and distraction. But concentration is central to the Eightfold Path. This class focuses on gaining more concentration in meditation and ultimately your life. We talk about what the Buddha said about concentration and its benefits, what gets in our way from being concentrated, and a variety of techniques for gaining more concentration in meditation and beyond.
This class meets on 6 Tuesdays from Sept 3 – Oct 8. 10Am-11:45am

Please give generously. Your act of generosity is significant.
