BOK JINPA 1:  Setting Fire to Your Meditation

January 18 – March 28 2012 , Wednesdays 8:15 – 9:15

The world’s economy is spinning out of control, natural and artificial disasters are threatening our way of life, and we can’t seem to find enough satisfaction within our personal relationships. Is there something to do about it? What if we could? We explore those questions and many others in pursuit of making our lives and our world a better place to live.

Investigate how to use ancient meditation practices to change the course of your life and the world you live in. We will study two ancient and precious texts (Bhavana Krama by Master Kamalashila and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika by Master Swatmarama) that lay out the clear path to inner peace and outer paradise. For many hundreds of years these types of texts were only available to a select number of monks in monasteries. Thanks to the work of a very few precious and highly skilled teachers and translators, Geshe Micahel Roach and Lama Christie McNally we now have direct access to these rare and brilliant spiritual classics.  In gratitude for what they have shared I would like to pass on these teachings.

This course is for both beginners and advanced practitioners. This is a ten class series to be held Wednesday  evenings at 8:15pm. The class is free. Please let us know if you plan on attending so I can organize the readings. For further questions contact Maria Cutrona at mariagraceutrona@gmail.com.
