Seattle: Making Mindfulness Meaningful with Ven. Thubten Chodron
October 27, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm PDT

Hosted by Dharma Friendship Foundation
Making Mindfulness Meaningful
with Ven. Thubten Chodron
Friday, October 27
7:30 pm – 9 pm Pacific Time
The Four Foundations of Mindfulness of Mindfulness (Body, Feeling, Mind, Phenomena) continues to be one of the central practices for all Buddhist traditions since Shakyamuni Buddha spoke the Satipatthana Sutra over 2,000 years ago.
In modern times, particularly in America, the practice of mindfulness has become immensely popular, though often mixed with secular motivations, leading to confusion regarding the deeper purpose of mindfulness meditation in the Buddhist context.
Dharma Friendship Foundation is delighted to host a special visit with Venerable Thubten Chodron for an evening of meditation and discussion on this topic which opens the door to liberation and enlightenment and is a foundational practice in both the Theravada and Mahayana traditions.
