Bimonthly
Meditations and
Dharma Discussions
Our community will be holding meditations and dharma discussion the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month, at the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Church on Garrett Rd. in Durham. (See below for information on the Raleigh sitting group.) We will meet from 7:00-9:00 pm in the Chapel which adjoins the main Sanctuary. This is an ideal location and accessible from anywhere in the Triangle. The format will be alternating sitting and walking meditation which will be followed by a dharma talk and/or discussion.
Please plan on arriving by 6:50 so we can be in our seats by 7:00. We will end around 9:00 so those living at a distance can get home at a reasonable hour.
This is an open group and all are welcome to attend. If you are new to meditation and need meditation instructions one of our senior students will meet you during this first sitting to give you instructions and guidance in the practice. If there are any other questions concerning the group please call Jim Jarvis at 309-2922 or e-mail jpjarvis@mindspring.com.
The New Hope Sangha is a resource for anyone who wishes to learn and practice the dharma. This is a nondenominational community that respects the wisdom of various spiritual traditions. Our meditation practices are grounded in three Buddhist practices: Vipassana (Mindfulness) Meditation, Metta (Lovingkindness) Meditation and Dzogchen (Non Dual Awareness) Meditation.
There is no fee charged. There will be a donation basket available to help support the use of the space. On nights with a dharma talk there will be a donation basket available to help support the teacher.
We hope you will join us for our meditations.
