Sunday, November 15

10:00am - 12:00pm

Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom

​

Join us Sunday, November 15, as Paul LaVigne leads our Sunday program. Paul will offer a Dharma reflection on Samadhi: Composure and Stillness, exploring how this important practice can help us meet the distractions and uncertainties of life with greater steadiness.

Samadhi is typically translated as “concentration,” but this definition may not capture the true subtlety and complexity of what it offers. In this Dharma reflection, Paul will explore the aspects of samadhi that support composure and stillness, as well as its relationship to wisdom and virtue.
