April-May Programs
Anam Cara, Bedford, NY
April 30th-June 4th, Wednesday
Evenings, 7:15-8:45 5 Week
Course Buddhist Wisdom for Non-
Buddhists Taught by
Lawrence Edwards,
Ph.D.
The Buddhist tradition offers
great
insights into the workings of the mind and how we can
be free not only of the mind, but of all suffering. One
doesn't have to be a Buddhist to gain the tremendous
benefits offered by this ancient tradition of wisdom.
Priests, nuns, rabbis, ministers, scientists,
business leaders and people from every background
have found the teachings of the Buddha enhanced
their everyday lives and their spiritual practices.
During this course we will explore the foundational
teachings and practices that the Buddha offered to
anyone who was interested in gaining greater
freedom from suffering and gaining access to
unwavering joy. There will be plenty of time to discuss
how these teachings and practices apply to work,
family, relationships, etc., and to
meditate.
Meditation

evening
starting promptly at 7:30pm at our center at

night on 914-234-4800.

Thank you all
for your notes of appreciation for our newsletter.
Everyone has
the heart to be a true friend of the soul, an Anam
Cara. By embodying that ideal ourselves perhaps
we'll help another to find it in themselves. There's a
dharma to relationships that often is neglected. Even
the Buddha saw his own monks ignoring the needs of
their sick and afflicted brothers. By his own example
of cleaning a poor monk soiled by dysentery, he
reminded them of how they should take care of one
another. There are many ways we can soil ourselves
and many ways we need the help of each other.
If
you have any
suggestions, comments or sharings, for our
newsletter please don't
hesitate to e-mail me and I'll do my best to
respond.
