Equanimity: Finding Balance in Difficult Times (JB2D22)

Registration closes at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on October 2, 2022. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early. A recording* will be available following the program in approximately 10 days.

Description:
Equanimity (upekkhā) is a highly valued quality in Buddhist teachings. But what is equanimity? How do we cultivate it in our meditation practice? Even more, how do we access it in daily life, especially in times like these with so much uncertainty, fear, and sadness over the suffering in the world? Through silent periods of sitting and walking, Dharma talks and discussion, we will explore the development of equanimity in our formal practice, as well as aspects of equanimity that can be applied pragmatically to our life off the cushion. New and experienced practitioners are welcome.
