Learn to Meditate
2025-12-13 08:30 - 12:30 | Davis Shambhala Meditation Center, 133 D Street, Suite H, upstairs, Davis, CA, 95616, United States
Join us for four Saturday mornings in September to learn a simple yet profound meditation practice that is grounded in the ancient Tibetan teachings of Shambhala. Centered on the notion of basic goodness, these teachings and practices are meant for times of joy and also times that are unsettling and difficult. They describe how people can actually make use of tenderness, sadness, and fear to access an open awareness that is clear seeing, steady and kind. Each Saturday morning session (9-Noon) will include talks, guided meditation instruction, small discussion groups and a tea break. All levels of practice welcome. If you have an established meditation practice you will appreciate the retreat like environment and opportunity to meditate in community with what Suzuki Roshi called “beginner’s mind”. The leader for the weekend is Lyle Larson who has been practicing and studying Buddhism and Shambhala paths since 1981. He is especially interested in how these profound ancient teachings apply to everyday life in our highly polarized aggressive world. His latest path emphasis has been on applying the teachings and practices of simply being present and deep empathetic listening.
