Dear Troy Shambhala,
Autumn isn’t putting up much of a fight this year. But let’s not hibernate before winter even begins. Actually, let’s not hibernate at all! Sitting each Tuesday in November is from 6:30-7:30, as always. And do join us after sitting for the following extras:
December 2: Optional group dinner in Troy
——————————
December 9: Snack Salon – Feel free to bring something to share! Food, Conversation, and Meditation is the Sakyong’s prescription. We can do all of that in one shot!
——————————
Trungpa Rinpoche’s Line Drawing
December 16: Being Tara – A Dharma Art Presentation
In March 2007, Artist to the Kalapa Court, Jack Niland, presented a dharma art weekend at the New York Shambhala Center called “Being Tara.” A highlight of the weekend was a slideshow, which explored the unique instructions and teachings that Jack received from Chögyam Trungpa. For the first time in a public talk, Jack drew from his collection of the Vidyadhara’s own sketches and diagrams to illuminate the visual dharma principles and training he received. This multimedia presentation recreates Jack’s slideshow.
Note: Sitting will be shortened this evening to make time to finish the slideshow. approx. 100 minutes
A $5 donation is suggested
