Tuesday Meditation Session – West Madison

December 31 @ 6:30 pm - 8:15 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, repeating indefinitely

45 minutes of meditation followed by a Dhamma discussion. This gathering is led by Janice Sheppard, who was trained at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery as a Buddhist Lay Minister and at Spirit Rock Meditation Center as a Community Dharma Leader. The discussion may be based on a dhamma talk, a brief reading, or a sutta that Jan will share. This group sometimes investigates topics over a period of weeks, for example, we recently spent two months going through the seven factors of enlightenment. The evening begins and ends with a brief chant and bowing. Participation in the chanting & bowing is solely a personal choice and is not required. There is also a shrine with a Buddha image, candles and incense. If you have a cushion, please bring it, however, there are some cushions here and chairs are available.

Directions from central Madison:
Take University Avenue heading west, continue past Hilldale Shopping Center to the gradual right for the Old Middleton Rd. cutoff. Continue on Old Middleton (you will cross Whitney Way) for about 1 mile to Old Sauk Rd. Turn left onto Old Sauk Rd. Stay on Old Sauk Rd. for 4 miles. (you will pass under highway 12/18, and continue another mile and a half ) until you see Cricket Lane, on the right. Turn right on Cricket Lane. Then take the first left on Shadow Ridge Trail. 9638 is at the top of the hill and has two foo lion statues and a standing Buddha in front.
