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
66:13
|
|
Rev. angel Kyodo williams
|
|
|
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.

Ajahn Sucitto

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.

Touching The Earth: Renewal, Letting Go & Compassion (part 1)
1:52:18
|
|
Amma Thanasanti
|
|
|
We are in the midst of a global climate crisis that is pushing us to wake up. More than ever we need to have attention grounded in our bodies, take time to relax, renew, let go and open our hearts.
Body Awareness/All Pervasive Awareness
The Buddha taught awareness of body and breath as a path of enlightenment. Our body is our direct link to the Earth. Bringing attention to the body allows for relaxation, stillness, renewal and letting go. To discover the body is to discover awareness, and eventually, the awakened state. All pervasive Awareness is a direct approach to embodied non-dual consciousness pervading our body and the environment as a whole. This retreat will combine body awareness and All Pervasive Awareness practices to uncover an authentic experience of ourselves as individuals and our connection with all of life at the same time.

with Dan Harris - Dharma in Dialogue: 10% Happier—What Meditation Can and Can't Do for You
1:23:34
|
|
Mark Epstein
|
|
|
In his new book, 10% Happier, ABC News anchor Dan Harris tells the story of how a skeptic became a meditator, and how the practice helped him better manage an extremely competitive career. One of the key developments in Dan's strange odyssey from avowed critic of all things touchy-feely to unlikely evangelist for meditation was an unusual friendship with Dr. Mark Epstein, the Buddhist psychiatrist and author. Through many years of regular lunches and dinners, Mark helped Dan see the value of mindfulness — and also its limits.
During this evening event, the two will share the story of their friendship and its lessons.

Open and Free: A Life of Liberation
1:52:54
|
|
Martin Aylward
|
|
|
Dharma practice points us towards liberation; boundless freedom of being, great depths of love and joy, and a graceful participation in life’s unfolding.
What is liberation?
What seems to be in the way, right now, of living freely?
What is your deepest knowing, and how can it liberate you, here and now?
The day will be led by Martin Aylward, and is open to both committed dharma students, and those who may be totally new to practice, but feel themselves drawn to freedom of being. There will include silent and guided meditation practice, teachings and discussion, and some dialog exercises. The day will emphasize a direct exploration of freeing up our life, right in the midst of living it.

Bringing Practice to Life
1:29:39
|
|
Jeffrey Rubin
|
|
|
Bringing practice into our lives, into the way we relate to other people and care for ourselves—or don’t—is one of the greatest challenges most practitioners grapple with. While the major Buddhist meditative traditions agree on the importance of this goal; the monastic traditions of Buddhism in Asia—the soil from which Buddhism arose and developed—do not provide readily adaptable models for integrating practice into secular lay life.
In this talk, we’ll explore what gets in the way and what facilitates bringing practice into daily life. The major focus will be on different ways to bring new life to our practice, including how to use meditation to illuminate formerly neglected areas such as interior emotional life and interpersonal relationships.
At 55:00 there is a 10 minute guided practice.
