All Night Tara on Friday June 18th
This event will take place live, at the stupa (directions below)
     9pm on Friday 18th June until 5am Saturday 19th June
All are welcome to join this powerful practice relating to Tara, the embodiment of fully developed wisdom and compassion in feminine form. Tara is also known for her enlightened activity, and through this practice we can cultivate these qualities of love, compassion, wisdom and confident courage, the best antidotes to the obstacles we face in life. 

Starting at dusk, we will have 4 sessions through the night with breaks for stargazing and snacks, and culminating at dawn. All are welcome for any amount of sessions, or length of time.  If you wake up early you can come for the morning session.  Please come early if you’d like to settle in.

Directions to stupa;
Drive up Havillah Route, Tonasket, WA, about 7 miles.
You will see prayer flags at the driveway on the right.
You may have to open the gate if it’s closed.

This class will be suspended for a three week break beginning Thursday, June 17 and will resume on Thursday, July 8th 
Approaching the Buddhist Path
   
    Time:  Thursdays at 6:00 PM Pacific Time 

Working with our Minds to Develop Courage in Challenging Times

As we to face ever changing times in many areas of our lives, we may find ourselves responding to such uncertainty with fear, worry, anxiety and depression. And yet especially during such times, we need to find ways to develop our minds to create more peace, happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction in our lives, and in the lives of those around us. During the ongoing weeks we will discuss how we can better understand these debilitating states of mind, in order to learn ways to transform them into more empowering qualities such as love, compassion, confidence, connection, resilience, tolerance and wisdom.


Drawing from both western and Buddhist psychology, among other resources we will be continuing to use as a basis for our discussion a book titled, “Approaching the Buddhist Path" (primarily Chapter 3, “Mind and Emotions”) by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Venerable Thubten Chodron. We are blessed to have Venerable Tenzin Denison to lead us through this journey.

                       This is a recurring meeting invitation, the class will open
at 5:45 so that there is 15 minutes to say hello to each other. 
​The actual class begins at 6:00, United States Pacific Standard Time.
