DHARMA MEMPHIS

CENTERS

Dear friends,

We just received notice from the U.S 2009 Tour Team today that Thay is ill. Due to this unexpected news, we are very sorry to announce that Thay will not be able to attend the retreat at Magnolia Village. However, the retreat will still go on as schedule along with 24 Monk and Nuns.

We wish all of you to have steady practice to breathe, smile, and happiness in order to deal with fortunate and unfortunate events that will occur in our daily lives.

Please let us know if you are still able to attend the retreat so we can make prior arrangements. Thank you for your understanding of the circumstance. We hope to see you at the retreat.

Sincerely,

Magnolia Village Sangha,
Ben Ho

OTHER INTERESTS

Insight meditation is a simple and direct practice: the moment to moment investigation of the mind-body process through calm, open and precise awareness. Learning to observe experience from a place of spacious stillness enables one to relate to life with a balance of wisdom and compassion. This experience fosters clarity and penetrating insight into the nature of who we are and increased peace in our daily lives.

The Memphis Insight Meditation Group was formed to provide a nurturing environment to support the practice of insight meditation (Vipassana) in the Theravada tradition of Buddhism.

John Greer teaches two 6-week courses on Insight Meditation in the fall and the spring. This is a course designed primarily for those who are just beginning to meditate, but it will be helpful for experienced meditators who want to learn more about this form of meditation. During each class, there will periods of instruction, as well as meditation practice in a group setting. He has had a regular sitting meditation practice for over 9 years. John is a teacher-trainee of and is being mentored by Matthew Flickstein, an Insight Meditation Teacher.
