Headed out to the nearby meditation center for a few hours of meditation!
Meditation with a group of people – often referred to in Buddhist circles as the sangha – is helpful in maintaining a strong practice. I go out to the local center as often as I can for an hour or two of meditation, as well as for volunteer time occasionally. The opportunity to meditate regularly with a group is a fairly recent circumstance in my life, and one for which I’m extremely grateful.
It’s been really helpful to me recently, as I’ve been having a hard time with my personal practice in the past few months. But that’s a story for another Pactice Note…
