SUMMARY:Meditation Training 1.5: Working with the Five Hindrances\, Online 10/28-11/18
DESCRIPTION:The Zoom link to participate in this event will be provided at least 24 hours before it begins. Please call 415-354-0360 if you have any questions. \n\nFour Wednesdays\, 6:00–7:30 pm PT \n\n“For Zen students\, a weed is a treasure.”—Shunryu Suzuki Roshi \n\nAre you having difficulty in meditation or concentrating in daily life? Do you find yourself obsessing over love or hate? Falling asleep\, feeling anxious\, restless\, or agitated more often than calm while meditating? Doubting yourself or your practice? \nThe Five Hindrances are common mind-heart states that can impede the development of concentration and mindfulness. In this class\, we will explore classic and contemporary teachings on how to become aware of and work with these states\, as well as how to cultivate their antidotes. \nAs this is a study and practice class\, specific texts\, meditation instructions\, and off-the-cushion practices will be shared and can be used to work with the Hindrances between classes. \nHaving the skills to be at ease in the midst of the Hindrances can enrich your meditation\, making it easier to bring the fruits of your practice into everyday life. \nNo prerequisite is required. If you do not currently have an established practice\, we strongly encourage first taking Meditation Training: Establishing a Meditation Practice in Four Short Weeks\, offered September 30–October 18. \nRecommended ReadingUnhindered by Gil Fronsdal (not required) \nRecordings:All course sessions will be recorded\, and registered participants will receive temporary access to the recordings for later viewing.
