Join us this Sunday for a special gathering at Dallas Meditation Center! 🧘✨

Featured Speaker: Drew Crownover
Topic: The Five Mindfulness Trainings at Play

Hello! This is Drew bowing in for the first time as speaker at DMC.

I received the Five Mindfulness Trainings about two years ago and have attempted to apply the trainings in various situations in my life. This has been very helpful, although I recently recognized that I often consider the trainings before difficult situations, and rarely before fun situations. This recognition caused me to think about how I can apply the trainings to my recreational activities. Doing so has caused me to enjoy them even more.

My intention is to share how my thoughts, speech, and actions have been positively impacted by considering the Five Mindfulness Trainings in relation to my hobbies, and to provide space for sangha members to discuss how the Five Mindfulness Trainings may be applied to their own recreational pursuits, whether that’s playing sports, board games, or video games, performing or creating, teaching, hiking, trivia night, or anything else we do for fun.

Featured Speaker: Cara Lawson
Topic: The Practice of Compassion: Sitting with Our Light and Sitting with Our Darkness

Dear friends,

Hey there! This Cara bowing in. I am writing to share what I will be discussing this coming Tuesday gathering, Wake Up YES, at the Dallas Meditation Center. I hope you will come join us for our meditation practice starting around 7PM, and collective reflection starting around 8PM!

For the first hour we will check-in with one another and practice walking and sitting meditation together. During our second hour, I will facilitate a discussion on the Immeasurable of Compassion. Diving deeper into the Four Immeasurables, we will learn about practices to cultivate compassion, consider common concerns and roadblocks that emerge when working with this concept, and connect as a sangha in small discussion on how compassion emerges on and off our cushions.

I hope to see you all there!

Join us this Tuesday (WakeUp) for a special gathering at Dallas Meditation Center! 🧘✨

Featured Speaker: Christina Clark
Topic: The Gifts of Diligence and Perseverance

As we seek to develop a strong mindfulness practice, we have to be diligent and persevere even when faced with challenges and obstacles. Knowing how to take care of these challenges and obstacles when they arise and knowing how to do that mindfully is the key to our ability to persevere and to be diligent in our practice. Any worthwhile endeavor requires a certain degree of diligence and perseverance. Certainly, nourishing the qualities of happiness is a very worthwhile endeavor!

Join us this Sunday (Awakening Heart) for a special gathering at Dallas Meditation Center! 🧘✨

Featured Speaker: Nic Bellegarde
Topic: What Great Beings Realize, pt. 4

The Discourse on the Eight Realizations of Great Beings offers penetrating insights into the nature of reality, which can help us to awaken.

Join us as we explore together the fourth two realizations of great beings:

7) the awareness that the five categories of sensual desire – money, s*x, fame, overeating, and oversleeping – lead to problems.

8) the awareness that the fire of birth and death is raging, causing endless suffering everywhere.

With a characteristic blend of humor and down to earth stories, Nic will explore these realizations, opening doors into deeper understanding of our experience and what it means to wake up through these teachings..
