Screen Shot 2013-10-01 at 11.08.08 PMDear Troy Shambhala,

We hope to see you in October. Sitting each Tuesday in Octember is from 6:30-7:30, as always.

And do join us after sitting for the following extras:

Oct. 7: Optional group dinner in Troy
———————————————————–
Oct. 14: Snack Salon – chat. chew. chat…
———————————————————–
Oct. 21: Timekeeper Training (approx. 45 min.)
The role of timekeeper (Tib. umdze) is an important element in our public sitting sessions. The steady presence of the umdze can set the tone and lift the confidence of the group. In this brief training, we will cover the basics for timekeeping and touch on meditation hall etiquette. Please consider stepping into this important practice.
———————————————————–
Oct. 28: Group Book Reading – The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, by Chögyam Trungpa. We will continue reading about the Third Noble Truth, the cessation of suffering (yay!). Due to the holidays, this will be the last group reading for 2014.

See you there!
