Introduction to Buddhist Meditation
Tuesdays, January 19 to February 23
6:30pm-8:30pm PDT
The benefits of meditation are vast. It calms the mind and is the foundation for every spiritual realization. Meditating 5 minutes a day and more can change our brains, our minds and our view of the world we live in.
Buddhist meditation is part of a tradition of techniques that go back at least 5,000 years. Like any other skill, proper technique makes meditation easier, more productive and saves you a lot of time. This class is perfect for those who are new to meditating and would like an introduction to the fundamental practices: posture, types of meditation, progressive stages of meditation and how to develop a meditation practice. Each class will have teaching, discussions, and practice.

Marc Bio:
I was born in 1955 and raised as a Roman Catholic. For most of my young adult life did not follow a spiritual path. I fell in love with yoga in the early 1990’s and was certified as a yoga instructor in the Iyengar tradition. Through yoga I found Buddhism, and had a deep attraction to the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. I have been a practicing Buddhist since that time. My root teacher is Alan Wallace, who I have had an easy, natural connection with since meeting him in 2013. I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach meditation both in the US and in Europe.
Professionally I have practiced as a chiropractor and body worker for over 40 years, and am blessed with work that is a spiritual path.
