Buddha's Breath

Learn the Buddha’s Instructions for Meditation

​Dorlop Rinpoche, Dr. Lye will offer a 2-day weekend retreat on “Buddha’s Breath” at Urban Dharma. This program will offer participants an opportunity to practice HH Drikung Kyabgön Chetsang Rinpoche’s “Shravasti Meditation” system which skillfully weaves together the historical Buddha’s main method of practice as found in the Anapanasati Sutta together with Mahāmudrā and Zen approaches to training the mind and a set of practical yogic exercises.

Although there is Zoom option to participate from afar, it is highly recommended that you try to attend in person to experience this profound approach is a fully embodied way. In-person participation is limited to 30 persons.

Remembering & Renewing

Honoring of Our Past, Committing to Our Future

Saturday 11/1, 6-9 PM​
​
November 1 is traditionally “All Saints’ Day” and the eve of “All Souls’ Day” in Christendom. The timing of these two days harkens to pre-Christian celebrations honoring the dead such as Samhain. In Mexico, November 1 is also part of “Day of the Dead” observations. This year, we will observe this season to honor our ancestors, our dearly departed and all those who have passed with prayers and offerings for the deceased grounded in the Buddhist tradition. We will also be hosting a “night market” at Urban Dharma to feature the festive nature of remembering the past as we prepare for the future.​
​

The “night market” will feature craft vendors, performers (music, fortune-telling, face & henna painting for example), food sellers, from our community. Do you want to be one? Contact us for details!

Invitation to Give

At the Temple we try to stock our pantry with tea bags, herbal infusions, honey, maple syrup, nuts, dried-fruits, cookies, etc. for the enjoyment of all. The next time you are at the store and you remember this, could you pick up something for our pantry?
