Fear does not exist”. -From the Dhammapada \nIf we aren’t practicing meditation to wake up\, then why are we bothering? What does waking up really mean? What are we waking up from or to? There is a Buddha in each of us waiting to wake up to a life without fear even in a world with much to be fearful of. \nAs we develop our meditation practice\, we learn that it is possible to pause throughout the day\, take a break from our usual thoughts\, and wake up to the magic and vastness of the world around us. In this day of practice\, we will explore wise effort\, wise mindfulness and wise concentration and the obstructions to our freedom. We will practice directly with some of the Buddha’s teachings on freedom and investigate how to integrate these into every moment of our lives. \nThis Daylong is appropriate to meditation practitioners of all levels. Everyone is welcome.   \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile devices such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the form if it is partially obscured or cut off.
