Resident Led Urban Development Oct 11, 18 Nov 1, 15

Offerings at Serlingpa Meditation Center October

TUESDAYS | OCTOBER 18 - NOVEMBER 15 | 7 - 8:30pm

Understanding that we have a choice in how we internally respond to life’s challenges encourages and empowers us to train our mind to deal with difficulties in a healthy way—that helps us learn and grow from our experiences. Through the practice of meditation, we can look at challenging circumstances in our life, re-adjust our perspective on the situation, and practice cultivating an attitude that allows our mind to stay balanced and solution-oriented.

SATURDAY | OCTOBER 22 | 10am - 1:30pm

Due to a misunderstanding of the true nature of things, we perceive ourselves in a state of painful isolation from others and our world. We see our limitations as real and we feel stuck. But our limitations are not real. In this retreat, we will explore Buddha’s teachings on emptiness: the true nature of reality. Emptiness means that things do not exist in a fixed way outside the mind, but that they exist as mere appearances to mind. Understanding this will naturally free our mind from a sense of limitation and insecurity, and fill us with a sense of joy and immense possibility.

TUESDAYS | 5:45 - 6:15PM

Rock Against the TPP Concert Oct 7

The tour stops in Boston on Friday, October 7th with an all-star lineup including Mirah, Debo Band, Foundation Movement, and more! Click here to get your free ticket.

The TPP is a legally-binding deal between 12 governments, including the U.S., that was negotiated in total secrecy with hundreds of corporate lobbyists helping draft the text. If ratified, it would be the largest backroom deal of its kind in history, and it poses a grave threat to good paying jobs, the environment, internet freedom, food safety, and our basic democratic process. Rock Against the TPP is a series of large-scale concerts, protests, and teach-ins designed to spark an uprising to stop the TPP and expose the grave threat that it poses to our most basic rights. Through a series of large-scale educational concert events, protests, and teach-ins, we’re reaching huge numbers of people who have never heard of the TPP before, and igniting a mass movement to stop it in its tracks.
