Sitting and Walking Meditation
You are warmly welcomed to join Judy, Maria and Sarah for another lovely Friday evening/day/morning depending upon where you are sitting
We will all enjoy a guided sitting meditation, followed by walking meditation, and then conclude with a Sutra Reading,
Our theme for July 2026 has been:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: verse 5
The Eighteen Realms of Phenomena
Which are the six Sense Organs
Six Sense Objects
And six Sense Consciousnesses
Are also not separate self-entities.
In the sutras we learn that everything is found within the eighteen realms of elements composed of the six sense organs, the six sense objects, and the six sense consciousnesses. … But thanks to modern science, we know that the universe is not just what we perceive with our five senses. We now know that all of our senses are quite limited
So, biology and physics help us to remove our dualistic view of mind and matter, psyche and soma, so that we are able to see the reciprocal and interbeing connection of body and mind. … Whenever we look up at the sky and see the moon, the stars and the galaxies, we have to practice to see that these things are not independent of consciousness. Everything in the cosmos has consciousness in it
