1/29 & 2/5 香巴拉之道課程一:日常生活中的禪修 
日常生活中的禪修是對禪修深入的探索,對於初學者和老參都有所助益。我們的重點將是在奢摩他(shamatha)的方法上(或又稱「寧靜安住」)──這能奠定我們靈修之道的基礎、並且是修行之各個層面不可或缺的一部分。在奢摩他中,我們訓練我們的心返回到當下的禪修對象。當我們聚集那在日常狀態裡分散的妄心,我們便可帶引出其固有的穩定性、清明、和效能。如此,我們在禪墊上的訓練,使我們能夠更加安住於生活、工作、親密關係之當下。學士教師 Holly Gayely 在兩次各三小時的網上課程中,將指導一系列的禪修、練習、與討論,協助我們澄清和完善奢摩他的方法,而使我們能更完整、完全地從事我們的修習與生活。這是「香巴拉之道」課程的第一課。

Preparation for Level 1 Shambhala Training - The Way of Shambhala - Meditation in Everyday Life
Location: Online 
Teacher: Shastri Holly Gayley 

The Way of Shambhala - Meditation in Everyday Life
Shastri Holly Gayley will lead this two-class course for the Taipei Shambhala Meditation Group, with simultaneous translation by Chinese Translator Yeachin Tsai, who is a member of the Shambhala International Translation Committees

SCHEDULE:
Class 1: January 28th, 8 -11 PM Eastern time (Taipei time is January 29th, 9 AM - 12 PM).
Class 2: February 4th, 8 -11 PM Eastern time (Taipei time is February 5th, 9 AM - 12 PM). 

Meditation in Everyday Life is an in-depth exploration of meditation practice for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Our focus will be the technique of shamatha or "peaceful abiding, which lays the foundation for the spiritual path and remains an integral part of practice at every level. In shamatha, we train our mind to return to the present moment and object of meditation. As we gather the mind from its usual state of distraction, we bring out its inherent stability, clarity and potency. As a result, the training we do on the meditation cushion allows us to be more vitally present in our everyday lives, work and relationships. Over two three-hour sessions, Shastri Holly Gayely will lead a series of guided meditations, exercises, and discussions that help to clarify and refine the technique of shamatha, so that we can engage our meditation practice--and our lives--more fully. This is the first course in the Way of Shambhala.
