Introducing Buddhist Meditation

This one-day workshop offers a basic introduction to meditation as taught in the Insight or Vipassana tradition of Theravada Buddhism. While not a silent retreat the workshop does include periods of sitting and walking meditation. Margo will give a brief overview of the history of early Buddhism: the historical Buddha, the religious climate of Ancient India, and the Buddha's discovery of the Eightfold Noble Path. Throughout the day there will be opportunities to reflect and discuss the application of these teachings to daily life.
