Greetings!

Tonight we continue with Wake Up to Your Life, covering the first half of Chapter Four: Dismantling Attachment to Conventional Success, pages 91-104. Contemplating death and impermance is part of the traditional "Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind to the Dharma," and Ken teaches it with an emphasis on direct awareness:

"Death, inevitable and final, forces us to face the mystery of being. What is this that I now experience, which can end at any moment?"

Included:
How to Practice (3 Steps: Study, Reflection, Cultivation)
Practical Matters
Working with Fear
Meditation 1: Everything Changes: the world, the body, personality, belief systems

Books are still available for $12 at my house or you can order through this link on our website: here. New folks are welcome to visit at any point. If you find it beneficial, you can purchase the book and catch up if you'd like.

Friday, 7:00 -9:00 p.m. Door opens at 6:45.

Location:
Home of Rita Frizzell in the Belmont/Hillsboro neighborhood, 1716A Linden Avenue, Nashville, TN 37212. 615-463-2374.

Quote of the Week

Quietly sitting, body still, speech silent, mind at peace, let thoughts and emotions, whatever rises, come and go, without clinging to anything.

What does this state feel like? Dudjom Rinpoche used to say: Imagine a man who comes home after a long, hard day's work in the fields, and sinks into his favorite chair in front of the fire. He has been working all day and he knows that he has achieved what he wanted to achieve; there is nothing more to worry about, nothing left unaccomplished, and he can let go completely of all his cares and concerns, content, simply, to be.

-- From Rigpa "Glimpse of the Day"
Let's wake up!
