SUMMARY:Stephan Bodian ~ Sharing the Love That We Are
DESCRIPTION:In this time of widespread fear\, confusion\, and suffering\, we’re called upon to dissolve the apparent boundaries that separate us and share in the boundless love at the heart of reality. In these gatherings\, we will be practicing a nondual version of the Tibetan practice of tonglen\, breathing in the suffering and transmuting it in the boundless heart into peace\, love\, compassion\, and ease of being. This practice benefits not only our brothers and sisters around the world\, who are of course not separate from us\, but ourselves as well\, as it fills our own being with love at a relative level and transforms our individual heart into a vehicle for universal love. \nIn addition to the extended compassion meditation\, there will be direct pointers to the groundless ground of our essential nature\, as well as ample time for Q&A\, dialogue\, and discussion. \nStephan Bodian has been sharing the direct approach to spiritual awakening for more than 40 years. A former Buddhist monk\, a licensed psychotherapist\, and a longtime student of Advaita master Jean Klein\, Stephan received Dharma transmission from Adyashanti in 2001. Since 2007 he has taught the annual months-long School for Awakening\, which will begin again\, in online form\, in January 2020. His books include Wake Up Now and Beyond Mindfulness. \nwww.stephanbodian.org \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nPlease register early if you can. \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within 48 hours.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
