Morning Meditation
Saturday May 3, 2025 7:30am - 8:30am MDT
The Dalai Lama said, "Don't learn Buddhism to be a better better Buddhist; learn Buddhism to be a better whatever you are." I am a writer.

  • Day two: Blocks - The Five Hindrances and the power of RAIN
  • Day three: Third Person Limited - Non-Identity and the muse
Each class meets in the morning before regular programming Though classes are meant as a three-day seminar, attendees can come to any of them without prior or later attendance and still get useful information.
