Programs | Weekly MeditationZoom Links for Sunday Meditation & Talk at Tampa Center and Monthly Orientation (on FCM Sangha Line): Video Link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3296243465?pwd=bUo1aFVQblhhbUFpZmZTci9EK0daZz09 Dial-In # 1-646-558-8656 Meditation is the foundational practice for our community’s path of healing, transformation and awakening. It is through a regular sitting meditation practice that we develop the capacities of mindfulness and concentration. Mindfulness is the ability to observe what is happening around us and what is arising within our own minds. Concentration is the ability to sustain our attention—to intentionally place and maintain our focus of attention. Together these two skills bring the stability of mind that allows us to have a quieter, more peaceful mind, to transform our afflictive emotions and unwholesome mind states, to cultivate positive wholesome mind states, and even to investigate the nature of our own mind. This self-awareness, the capacity to be aware of our own experience, is a gift of the human mind and forms the basis for leading a life of intention, meaning, wisdom and well-being.
We ask that you try to arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of meditation and refrain from bringing cell phones and other electronic devices into the meditation halls. All of our locations are wheelchair accessible. Please click here to read important and helpful information about what to expect at our meditation gatherings.
