The Buddha said that the source of both our suffering and our happiness is the mind. How can we rewire our thinking, through the practice of mindfulness, to calm ourselves and see more clearly in this frenetic and 'cloudy' world? The tool of mindfulness helps us see that the mind can be either the best of friends or the greatest enemy.
In times of conflict or pain, a clear mind and an open heart can be our greatest allies. This day of practice offers the opportunity to sit and walk in silence, in a supportive community, and give full attention to our deeper feelings.
Periods of silent, independent practice will be interspersed with guided meditations on different aspects of the heart-opening quality of unconditional friendliness (metta).
