Developing concentration is essential for cultivating a mind that is stable, present and at ease. We use a variety of concentration practices and objects (e.g. the breath, the body, sound, and pebbles) to train the mind to stay in the present moment rather than be carried away by discursive thinking, both in formal meditation and in our daily lives.

This daylong program is being held for participants in the Fall FCM Dharma Path Intensive, Deconstructing the Myth of Self, Part 3.  Those that have taken this Intensive in the past are also invited to attend.

We have now spent the better part of a year in this intensive carefully observing the manifestation of self in our personal lives and the drama of self that causes us so much suffering. Most recently we have explored the teachings on self from the perspective of Buddhist psychology and are beginning to see that the existence of a solid, permanent, autonomous self is a mistaken view. Even so, we may be still be finding that we have a deep clinging to the notion of a self and that its attachments and aversions are continuing to play havoc in our lives. In this daylong we will focus on how to use the 19^th century Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Lama Mipham’s meditative text, The Wheel of Investigation and Meditation That Thoroughly Purifies Mental Activity so we can cut through our attachment to this delusive self to allow us to truly live a life of freedom.

This Daylong Program will be led by the intensive leaders, Ken Lenington and Betsy Arizu.

It is open for registration ONLY to FCM members who are currently registered in the Deconstructing the Myth of Self Intensive or who have participated in this FCM Intensive in prior years. 

It will be held entirely online via Zoom.

Registration is open until Thursday, December 2.

In this online session for FCM members, we will be using our minds, senses and art supplies to do simple projects that deepen our mindfulness. We also will be sharing deeply with others the thoughts, feelings and insights that arise. Each class will begin with an exercise to help us to become centered and then move on to an art activity that will help us to develop the qualities of the awakened heart.

The intention of this offering is to allow people to experience practice in a different way. All sessions will be grounded in mindfulness. These classes do not attempt to teach techniques making art but do use art as a conduit to practice.

Because participants are sequestering at home, materials will be those commonly found around your house. Please join the Zoom call with everything you need 10 minutes before the class so that you have time to settle before we begin.
