The Wisdom of Silence

The Lodge at Quietude

Free

Mon, Apr 21
6:30pm - 8:00pm

Join The Social Sangha and Paul Linn for guided meditation, a dharma talk, and discussion.
FULL DESCRIPTION

All experiences unfold and are impermanent. There is an inseparable context that experiences arise and pass through. The silence and stillness that life manifests within has been recognized and honored in many cultures and traditions throughout the ages worldwide. 

At the surface, silence at times is viewed as the absence of sound and stillness, the absence of movement. However, meditative insight reveals far more depth and nuance. Immeasurably valuable in terms of the many conditions and challenges that emerge both in meditative practice and all other times in life, these precious gems also serve as portals to the true nature of the heart / mind.  

Please feel welcome to join this evening's exploration of these themes together in meditation. dharma talk and inquiry. 

Cancellation Notice: In case of storms or other safety concerns: Please check our website (thesocialsangha.com) to see if the event has been cancelled.

Danā: Access to community and wisdom should be available to everyone, so all sangha events are offered for free. Following ancient buddhist practice, we collect danā, a Pali word that means “generosity” or “giving freely. Danā is a practice of a mutual exchange of abundance. It develops lovingkindness and compassion, deepens awareness of our interconnectedness, and encourages non-attachment. If this kind of giving is available to you, there will be a donation box at this event. Donations will go to support our valued teacher. Any amount is welcome. One suggested amount is $15.

Parking: Please park at the front of The Lodge. Parking behind The Lodge is used by residents in the cabins. If we should run out of parking in the front, kindly park at the Black Mountain Wellness Center (1141 Montreat Rd.), which is just 50 yards further north and on the left when you continue up Montreat Road.
