Tenzing's Life Rule #1
When
13 May 2014
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Location
JABA, 674 Hillsdale Dr. Cville 22901
Our Tuesday evening meeting will begin with a guided meditation, followed by a talk by Susan Stone focusing on the first rule of life according to Tenzing Norbu, an ex-Tibetan monk, ex-cop with the LAPD and a fictional character. The rule is: "If you’re open to learning, you get your life-lessons delivered as gently as the tickle of a feather. But if you’re defensive, if you stubbornly persist in being right instead of learning the lesson at hand, if you stop paying attention to the tickles, the nudges, the clues--
boom
! Sledgehammer.” The Buddha couldn't have said it better. The talk will be followed by informal discussion. An evening for all, whether you're new to insight meditation or an experienced practitioner.
