SUMMARY:Meditation and the Experience of Oneness with Jeff Carreira
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: March 13 @ 10:00 am – 4:30 pm ET\, with a social gathering afterwards \nLocation: The Aligned Center\, 1 Bridge Street\, Foundry Building\, Suite 64\, Irvington\, NY 10533 \nIn this all-day event\, we will explore the nondual vision of oneness. Jeff will guide us in how we can see the reality of the way things are. All is one\, and all apparent division and separation are perceptual illusions. \nDescription: \nThe realization of absolute unity has been revered by the world’s great mystical traditions of the East and the West throughout the ages. \nIt is not difficult to see the way things are\, but it is very difficult to see it for more than an instant. \nThat’s because our minds are so deeply conditioned to see separation\, isolation and division\, that the vision of Oneness slips out of awareness almost as soon as it is recognized. \nConfronted with the awesome vision of Non-dual reality the mind is temporarily stunned into submission. For a moment or two it simply stops in awe and wonder. \nBut the mind will not stop for long\, soon it comes roaring back with a host of seemingly valid and important questions about what it has seen. How is this possible? How does it relate to my everyday experience of life? What does this mean about how I should live? \nThe questions that the mind comes up with are endless and if we think that we will ever answer them all\, we are wrong. \nThe only way to effectively respond to the mind’s unending and relentless need to know is to simply allow the questions to keep coming without paying any attention to them. \nThe questionless state is not a state where no questions exist\, it is the state where the existence of questions can no longer distract you from the truth of Non-dual Unity. \nSocial Gathering: \nAfter this day of silence The Aligned Center Founder Matt Ludmer invites the participants to join in an informal social gathering\, with light refreshments overlooking the beautiful Hudson River.  \nJEFF CARREIRA is a mystical philosopher and spiritual guide. He is the author of eleven books on meditation and philosophy. He teaches online programs and leads retreats throughout the world that teach people how to let go of their current perceptual habits so they are free to participate in the creation of a new paradigm. To put it simply\, he supports people to live a spiritually inspired life\, free from the constraints of fear\, worry and self-doubt\, and aligned with their own deepest sense of meaning and purpose. \nDate: March 13\, 2022 \nTimes: 10:00 am – 4:30 pm ET\, with social gathering afterwards \nLocation: The Aligned Center\, 1 Bridge Street\, Foundry Building\, Suite 64\, Irvington\, NY 10533 \nCost: $89 \nSchedule (in US Eastern Time) \n10:00am – 12:30pm Morning Session \n12:30pm to 1:30pm Lunch on Own \n1:30pm to 4:30pm Afternoon Session \n4:30pm Social Gathering \n  \nCOVID Protocols\nWith NYS having lifted the mask mandate\, we are following the new guidance and not requiring masks\, although those who choose to wear them are more than welcome to do so. We will be checking proof of vaccination. We will also be limiting attendance so we can practice social distancing throughout the day.

SUMMARY:Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha with the Westchester Meditation Center
DESCRIPTION:Our friends at the Westchester Meditation Center are hosting a course\, Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha.  \nWalking in the Footsteps of the Buddha is a year-long foundation-level course in 3 semesters (Fall 2021\, Winter 2022\, Spring/Summer 2022). Join us for Semester Three\, Treading the Path of Wisdom and Compassion\, as we continue to explore the path of mindfulness-awareness meditation and insight as originally described by the Buddha and skillfully transmitted to the West by one of the great Tibetan masters of our time\, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In this semester we reflect on the entire range of the Mahayana path of the bodhisattva\, focusing on the practice of transcendent compassionate activity and the cultivation of wisdom\, which altogether make up what is called “relative bodhicitta.” This includes the practice of tonglen (exchanging self and other)\, the bodhisattva vow\, the six paramitas\, emptiness\, and the path of the Mahayana. We will focus on the techniques and stages of meditation and bringing meditation into our daily lives.  \nStudents may enroll for the remaining semester (Spring/Summer 2022) or attend individual classes on a “drop-in’ basis. \nReadings are from a wide variety of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s writings\, which will be provided in a digital source book.  Each class will begin with 30 minutes of meditation\, followed by facilitated discussion on the topics covered in the readings.   \nAudio recordings of all classes\, including both talk and discussion\, will be available online. \nThis series is recommended for both experienced practitioners and for those just getting started and is designed to benefit participants whether or not they attend regularly.  \n  \nWalking in the Footsteps of the Buddha \nThis course is for students of all levels. \nIn-person and virtual drop-ins welcome \nA foundation-level course like this one\, or its equivalent in study and practice\, is a prerequisite for the intermediate and advanced level courses at WMC. \n  \nPURCHASE SOURCEBOOK \nNote that WMC maintains a policy of making our programs affordable to all. Those with limited income please offer what you can afford. \nREGISTER HERE \nSundays\, 12:30 – 2:30 pm ET \nStarting April 24\, 2022 \nIn person at The Aligned Center and by Zoom \nCost: By donation to Westchester Meditation Center
