2010 Summer Series
Heart & Mind Training: The Soul of Practice
1st & 3rd Tuesdays June 1 - Aug 17, 7:00 pm
Harvey B. Aronson & Anne C. Klein, Founding Directors
About Our Teachers
We practice because we want to open our hearts and anchor our lives.
This means cultivating qualities that sustain us in both. This summer we
emphasize the boundless states of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
These open the heart. We complement this by cultivating our capacity for
calm, ease, and quiet strength. Combining both, we go more deeply into
the beloved practice of Offering and Receiving (Tong Len).
Our special focus this summer is the crucial step of grounding love for others in
love of ourselves; developing compassion for others through the door of
compassion to self. Far from depleting our responsiveness to others, this
tenderness toward self makes it possible to really embrace others. It also
provides a ground for calm, ease, and real strength. Finally, we learn to
synthesize all these qualities in the practice of offering and receiving.
Optional Reading: Pema Chodron, Start From Where You Are
