Wisdom: The Power of Investigation

 Practice that leads to wisdom 

The path of wisdom leads to clear seeing and liberation. Following this path requires the careful examination of one's experience.  In this class we will use the teachings of a remarkable Tibetan master who gives very clear instructions on how to practice the investigation of phenomena.

This class is most appropriate for students who have an established meditation practice and some familiarity with the Four Noble Truths.

Readings will be sent out before each class.  Students are encouraged to register early for this class so they can receive the meditation instructions before the class begins. 

Wisdom: The Power of Investigation meets once a week for four weeks.  Each meeting lasts 90 minutes and includes instruction, meditation practice, and time for Q & A. Currently classes are hybrid, i.e. they are simultaneously taught in-person and on Zoom. After the class ends, a weekly follow-up meeting will be offered at no cost to answer your questions.

You will receive a confirmation email within 2 business days.  Prior to the first class, you will receive class information and materials.
