6 Tuesday evenings January 21 to February 25 2020
7:00 to 8:30 pm
With
Scott Wellenbach and Katherine Munro
The Hinayana, also known as the “foundational vehicle,” is the basis of entering the path as taught in the Vajrayana Buddhist traditions. The teachings of the Hinayana represent the most fundamental instructions of the Buddha, which are central to everything that follows. Hinayana studies, therefore, are basic to any training in Buddhism
In this stage of study and contemplation, we take a courageous look at our personal unease and suffering, as well as our comfort and happiness. By working with these experiences, we learn how to step away from confusion and toward truly helping ourselves and others. You will learn the main elements of the Hinayana view, through a detailed examination of the building blocks of the Buddhist science of mind.

Tea With Tara
Tara is a bodhisattva of compassion. Tara accomplishes limitless activities for the benefit of sentient beings, and the practice of Tara helps us pacify fears and other obstacles, including illness, for ourselves and others. Following Tara practice of mantras, meditation and songs, we will celebrate our fellowship with tea and goodies. Practice dates this winter are: Saturday Jan. 11, Feb. 8 and Mar. 7. We meet from 3-5 pm. Everyone Welcome.
