THE LISTS

Monthly Dhamma Talk & Samatha Meditation

JANUARY LIST: THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS

Join Whit online for a monthly gathering in which he will unpack the ancient and transformative wisdom teachings of the Buddha in a concise and accessible way.

The vast corpus of wisdom teachings expounded by the Buddha, known as the Dhamma, is made more accessible to study by the fact that the Buddha was a “list maker”, organizing the teachings into various lists, thus enabling for more efficient intellectual study of the Dhamma. Nonetheless, the study of Dhamma is still a formidable undertaking unavailable to most owing to the time constraints of contemporary life.

Owing to the busy lives we all lead, this offering is thus designed and intended to enable the Dhamma of the Buddha to be studied and understood in a clear and efficient way that will help catalyze understanding (ñāṇa), spiritual motivation (saṁvega) and in turn insight (vipassanā).

In our monthly gathering we will look at one list each month, engaging in a 30 minute Dhamma talk given by Whit upon the topic, followed by an experiential meditation practice that allows the intellectual understanding of the teachings to permeate and integrate within the memory (hippocampus) of the heart-mind (citta) via samatha / tranquility meditation.

This offering is shared by Whit via the traditional model of dāna (giving / generosity). Once your application and dāna (donation) has been received, you will be added to the group and will receive the Zoom Link on the day of the practice.

May we all gather in community to explore these profound teachings in a digestible way, enabling them to resonate effortlessly with our hearts and in turn spread them throughout the world at a time where the transmission of the Dhamma is needed more than ever.

All levels welcome.
