SUMMARY:Meditation for Every Day (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:The Westchester Mediation Center hosts a 4-Week course to strengthen your daily meditation practice \nSeptember 13\, 20\, 27\, and October 4th \n\nWednesdays: 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM ET\nLed by Gene Bobker and Tom Pantaleoni\nSuggested offering: $40\nOpen to all\, regardless of background\n\nREGISTER: Here \nWhy Meditate? \nChallenge and change happen to all of us during our lives. While life brings us joy and community\, it can also bring us difficulty and struggle. Meditation doesn’t promise to be the answer to all of our problems. But it can help us greet life’s obstacles with a sense of stability and confidence. \nMeditation shows us how to work with our minds when we can’t control what’s going on around us. And it connects us with others who experience the same feelings and difficulties we have faced ourselves. Through meditation we develop friendliness and humor toward ourselves\, our lives\, and to the world around us. \nIn this course we will discuss meditation technique\, individual home practice\, learn what is meant by mindfulness and awareness\, and how to grow into and celebrate a lifelong practice of meditation. \n— \n“Our life is an endless journey: the practice of meditation allows us to experience all the textures of the roadway\, which is what the journey is all about.” — Chögyam Trungpa\, Rinpoche \n“When something is bothering us—someone is bugging us\, a situation is irritating you\, or physical pain is troubling you—you must work with your mind\, and that is done through meditation.  Working with our mind is the only means through which we’ll actually begin to feel happy and contented with the world we live in.” — Pema Chodron.

SUMMARY:Qigong with Robert Peng (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:Robert Peng\, a world-renowned Qigong Master and healer\, was born and raised in Hunan\, China. \nAt age eight\, he began an intensive apprenticeship under the close guidance of the legendary monk Xiao Yao\, an enlightened master known for his profound healing ability and martial arts skill. At age 15\, Robert endured a 100-day water fast in a small dark room at a secluded monastery in the remote mountains of Hunan province\, which initiated a radical spiritual transformation and awakened amazing healing powers. \nAfter pursuing his training quietly while attending university in Changsha\, he began to teach publicly at 29\, and within five years had trained over 150\,000 students all over China\, Australia\, and the U.S. \nWith his deep understanding and practice of Qigong\, and with extensive life and teaching experience in the Western world\, Robert has developed a unique way to teach Qigong that people from different cultures can easily understand and follow while enjoying the real essence of this ancient Chinese healing art of wisdom\, love\, and vitality. \nThis is an in-person event. \nCost: $69.99 \nRegister: Here

SUMMARY:Sunday Open House Meditation Gathering (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Open House Meditation Gathering\n\nLed by Gene Bobker\, Charles Olson\, and WMC staff\nSundays from 10 am – 12 pm ET\nDrop-ins welcome!\n\nOn Sunday mornings\, the Westchester Meditation Center is hosting community gatherings involving meditation practice\, discussion\, and readings from The Wisdom of No Escape\, and the Path of Loving-Kindness by Pema Chodron. \nWhen life’s events challenge us\, we search for ways to change or improve our circumstances. Yet we find difficult life events occur over and over again\, bringing the same feelings and frustrations. Meditation helps us discover that while we will never be able to completely control our world\, we can train our minds to meet and accept life just as it is\, in the present moment. \nPema Chodron’s book is about welcoming life in all its manifestations—embracing the joy\, suffering\, wisdom and confusion that is the human experience. Meditation guides us to meet our mind\, embrace the fullness of our experience\, and live a wholehearted life. \nAt each gathering\, you will practice for two sessions with walking meditation in between\, share an inspiring reading\, and have a group discussion. \n\nMeditation instruction (for those that are brand new to meditation or need a refresher) is available\, if needed.\nCost of attendance is by donation. Recommended donation is $10 per meeting\nListen to past Sunday Dharma Talks here. Check out our guest speakers here.

SUMMARY:Humbleness and Heroism on the Path of Wakefulness\, The Way of the Bodhisattva
DESCRIPTION:Humbleness and Heroism on the Path of Wakefulness\, The Way of the Bodhisattva \nPlease join the Westchester Meditation Center for this very special event with Venerable Ringu Tulku Rinpoche\, who will speak on Humbleness and Heroism on the Path of Wakefulness\, The Way of the Bodhisattva\, open to all\, but space is limited. \nThe practitioner of Mahayana Buddhism aspires to become a Bodhisattva – one who dedicates their life to the enlightenment of all sentient beings. Pursuing this goal requires the courage and strength to go beyond all personal boundaries and limitations\, and at the same time\, the willingness to constantly put the welfare of others before one’s own. Yet\, sometimes our attempts to balance humbleness and heroism on the path of wakefulness leave us ineffective\, mistaken\, or create more difficulties\, despite our best efforts.  With a genuine understanding of The Way of the Bodhisattva\, the Venerable Ringu Tulku is especially equipped to inspire our awakened hearts and minds and share his wisdom on how we can maintain these qualities in harmony. \nRingu Tulku Rinpoche is a Tibetan Buddhist teacher of the Kagyu lineage. He was trained by many great teachers including H.H. the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa and Dilgo Khyentse\, Rinpoche. He received his formal education at Namgyal Institute of Tibetology and Sampurnananda Sanskrit University and has served as a Professor of Tibetology in Sikkim for 17 years. Since 1990 Rinpoche has been traveling and teaching Buddhism throughout the world. He has authored many books on Buddhism and founded Bodhicharya\, an organization that coordinates activities to preserve and transmit Buddhist teachings and promote intercultural dialogues and educational projects. See www.bodhicharya.org for more information. \nSuggested Offering $30* \nRegister HERE.
