Tonight Joanie Lane offers two sittings and a talk on:
Keeping Balance During the Holidays

The holidays are upon us. For some this can be a joyful and exciting time, full of laughter and shared joy with family and friends.

But for others it can mean stress, anxiety, feelings of foreboding, loneliness or depression. These uncomfortable emotions, are a sign of being out of balance with life.

Part of living a full life is finding a healthy balance in all the goings on of life. In the endless moving parts of life balance too is always moving. It sways this way when we celebrate a joyful occasion and sways that way when we experience fear or sadness. It is a moving target. We never really achieve a permanent state of balance.

Life is a balance,
of holding on
and letting go. ~Rumi

Whether you are someone who loves holidays or someone who simply tolerates them we can all find ways to open to them with a joyful heart.

Join us this evening as Joanie discusses how to find balance during the ups and downs of the holidays.

Generosity and Gratitude

We all want to be happy and gratitude is the easiest way to get there.
Gratitude leads to Generosity.
Generosity leads to Joy.
Joy can be described of having a lack of desire and clinging.

The Buddha said: “Giving benefits the mind by ridding it of greed and ill-will, and all giving serves to benefit others.”

Each benefit of giving has its own use, and giving with no expected benefit is the best benefit.

How Meditation leads to Freedom from the Three Poisons

Meditation plays a crucial role in addressing the Three Poisons—greed, hatred, and delusion—by fostering mindfulness and awareness, which are essential for personal transformation.

Overall, meditation cultivates a mindful awareness that allows individuals to recognize and transform the Three Poisons, leading to greater emotional balance and spiritual growth. By practicing regularly, one can develop the qualities that counteract these poisons, such as generosity, loving-kindness, and wisdom.

Mindfulness

One of the reasons we seek out meditation and Mindfulness practice in order to relax and restore ourselves is because we cling to the idea that our view is the “correct” view. When our reality is questioned it upsets the foundation that we stand on. This feeling of groundlessness can feel quite destabilizing. Like trying to find our way blindly across a stream on slippery rocks with nothing to cling to. Nothing to help us feel stable.

Joseph Goldstein-
“One of the great misconceptions we often carry throughout our lives is that our perceptions of ourselves and the world are basically accurate and true, that they reflect some stable, ultimate reality. This misconception leads to tremendous suffering, both globally and in our personal life situations.”

Every day we experience pleasant feelings and these are not only welcome they are what we search for in order to feel happy. But true happiness comes from being able to experience pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant feelings and still accept them all with equanimity.

…”one of the most radical, far-reaching, and challenging statements of the Buddha is his statement that as long as there is attachment to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant, liberation from suffering is impossible.” ~ Joseph Goldstein

The Key to Happiness: Joseph Goldstein
“Generosity takes many forms—we may give our time, our energy, our material possessions, our love. All are expressions of caring, of compassion, of connection, and of renunciation—the ability to let go.The beauty of generosity is that it not only brings us happiness in the moment—we feel good when we give—but it is also the cause for happiness to arise in the future.”

How to Meditate in Challenging Times

“It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”
~ Charles Darwin

Our faith, effort, and practice can support us through challenging times. But it isn’t always easy to sit while the world around you burns. Practicing Mindfulness, Impermanence, Compassion, Acceptance and Letting Go are the keys to a more peaceful mind state. It is a “Practice” and we will work with that practice tonight.

Metta Practice.

In recent weeks, we have been exploring how the Eightfold Path helps us navigate the challenges of daily life.

Loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity are the four highest emotions—the only ones worth cultivating.

“Free from wrong views, greed, and sensual desires, living in beauty and realizing perfect understanding, those who practice boundless love will certainly transcend birth and death.”
~ The Buddha

The practice of Metta offers practical steps for personal transformation. It encourages unconditional love and compassion toward oneself and others, supporting personal growth and emotional healing.
