2500 years ago the Buddha said craving and attachment is the cause of suffering. In the 1930’s Bill Wilson started the first Twelve-Step program that worked with a deep form of craving and suffering: addictions. In these monthly meetings, we explore the ways that Buddhism and the Steps support and complement each other and can deepen our spiritual lives. The meetings include Buddhist meditation practices, interactive exercises, dharma talks and discussion.
The evenings are open to all who are interested. You need not be in a Twelve Step program nor have a background in Buddhism.
Fee by donation: Suggested starting donation is $15 but whatever you offer is greatly appreciated and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. For this event all donations are split evenly between the teacher(s) and NYI.

How to Be Fearless

Even though we don't like to admit it, fear governs much of our lives. From major decisions about life and love to whom we make eye contact with on the street, fear holds us captive to events of the past and wary of the unknown future. Thankfully, the Heart Sutra, a profound and much-loved text offers simple instructions on how to release ourselves from the rule of fear. Now it's time to apply it. |

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? The Buddha’s Dhamma gives us a way to develop the inner strength and space to meet what arises in our lives. The weekend will offer ways to cultivate the ‘inner authority’ of the five indriya, and the capacity to bring forth good will. It will require commitment to a weekend schedule of sitting and standing in meditation, with extended periods of silence. |
