Dear Troy Shambhala,

A new year, and we in the north are tilting toward the sun. The smallest beings are waking up, and the birds are finding this place hospitable again. And where are all these insects coming from? Let’s wake up! Sitting each Thursday in March is from 6:30-7:30 PM, as usual. And do join us for the following extras after sitting:

March 1: Group dinner in downtown Troy
—————————————

March 8: 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!
—————————————

March 15: Audio or Video teaching from the Shambhala Buddhist tradition
—————————————

March 22: Movie Night – Something short and fun; some context for popcorn

—————————————

March 29: Group Book Reading – The Lost Art of Good Conversation: A Mindful Way to Connect with Others and Enrich Everyday Life By Sakyong Mipham
—————————————

Also, look for this program coming up in Albany:
The Art of Being Human: Shambhala Training Level I
with Shastri Ellen Rook & Jeff Wigman
Fri March 2-4 – A great way to jump in.

Dear Troy Shambhala,

The lunar year is winding down, and at this time it is common to feel like something’s gotta break. Get on with it already—get moving. So let’s sit. Sitting meditation each Thursday in February is from 6:30-7:30 PM, as usual. And do join us for the following extras after sitting:

Feb 1: Group Book Reading – The Lost Art of Good Conversation: A Mindful Way to Connect with Others and Enrich Everyday Life By Sakyong Mipham
———————————————————–
February 8: 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!

February 15: Audio or Video teaching from the Shambhala Buddhist tradition
———————————————————–
February 22: Shambhala Day Celebration: Year of the Earth Dog – Shambhala Day is when we observe the passing of another lunar year according to the Tibetan calendar. It is traditional to celebrate by gathering together and connecting to our richness and brilliance, reaffirming our intentions for the new year.

We will practice The Shambhala Sadhana, a profound practice given by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche that confidently proclaims the fundamental richness of all beings and society. We will then listen to the Sakyong’s Shambhala Day address to the sangha, followed by a POTLUCK. So bring a dish to share!

As always, registering for programs is greatly appreciated. http://troy.shambhala.org/calendar-details/?id=354838
