SUMMARY:In Praise of the Middle Way: Half-day Sitting led by So’on Jim Hare (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:“And what is the middle way realized by the Tathagata that – producing vision\, producing knowledge – leads to calm\, to direct knowledge\, to self-awakening\, to Unbinding?  Precisely this Noble Eightfold Path: right view\, right resolve\, right speech\, right action\, right livelihood\, right effort\, right mindfulness\, right concentration. This is the middle way realized by the Tathagata that – producing vision\, producing knowledge – leads to calm\, to direct knowledge\, to self-awakening\, to Unbinding.”   (from Dhammacakkappavattana Sutra: Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dharma\, Thanissaro Bhikkhu\, translator.) \nPlease bring a bag lunch if you would like to join us for a social lunch following the sitting. \nRegistration below.  If this will be your first half-day sitting\, or you have questions\, please contact us at Info@valleystreamszen.org or 916-456-7752.
