THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Meditation practice isn’t about trying to throw ourselves away and become something better. It’s about befriending who we are already.

Summer 2018
Shastri Debbie McCubbin and Shastri Amadio will be teaching modified Shambhala Levels II to IV online via Zoom. This is an experiment, partly aimed at helping people who live far from centres access our curriculum, and get to Enlightened Society Assembly next fall in Toronto if they wish to. It’s also a way for people to participate in our curriculum more fully without having to travel, even if they only take one or two courses. Check the Mississauga Centre link above for more details.
