When we begin to take responsibility for our own minds, revolution becomes possible. No longer do we need to be driven by shadowy urges whose origins we cannot find. No longer do we need to act out destructive inclinations that trick us into believing we are in the right. Buddha taught ethics, meditation and philosophy as vehicles for self-transformation and he made each person responsible for their own progress.


Today's workshop will teach the fundamentals of the Buddha's approach. Taught by three old friends who each bring a distinctive voice to their work, the workshop will offer a variety of doorways into the Buddha's teachings so that each participant can find their own way to practice.


Periods of meditation will alternate with discussion.
