Meditation@33rd offers an intimate space in which to practice sitting meditation & to reflect on one's experience of meditation with others. Instruction provided to anyone new to meditation. Join us on Zoom every Saturday morning.
The Heart Sutra is the Buddha's best known sutra. It expresses the essence of the Second Turning of the Wheel of Dharma in which the Buddha taught that the ultimate nature of reality is empty of whatever we might think about it or project onto it.
This program captures the heart of Shambhala—the view that human beings are fundamentally good and awake and that this capacity can be cultivated and strengthened through meditation, reflection and personal conduct.
In the Level II weekend program, we focus on deepening the meditation practice through
the cultivation of contentment and simplicity.
