PATH OF INSIGHT: EXPLORING THE THREE YANAS
January - June 2024
hosted by Lodro Rinzler and special guests
as part of Lodro’s community, The Basic Goodness Collective
Here’s what’s up
Discover the profound teachings of Buddhism through an immersive study of the three yanas, or vehicles, encapsulating the wisdom imparted by the Buddha. Our in-depth exploration will delve into the insights provided by four enlightening books authored by contemporary Buddhist scholars, forming the foundation for bi-monthly talks led by Lodro Rinzler. Additionally, we will immerse ourselves in the transformative practice of chanting, utilizing the newly crafted Basic Goodness Collective Chant Book.
Every Thursday, immerse yourself in a thought-provoking journey as Lodro unpacks and illuminates various aspects of these three yanas, offering invaluable insights through pre-recorded talks.
Participate in our vibrant community every Monday through our engaging live guided meditation sessions held online. Led by Lodro, Adreanna Limbach, and a lineup of esteemed guest teachers (more details coming soon), these sessions are optional yet delightful. Can't make it live? Don't worry! All sessions are recorded for your convenience, allowing you to catch up at your own pace.
Mark your calendar for our Monthly Meditator Meetup, a cherished gathering where like-minded practitioners come together to connect, engage in insightful discussions with Lodro, and foster a sense of community. It's an opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and deepen your meditation practice in a supportive environment.
Join us on this enriching journey toward self-discovery, mindfulness, and community. Unlock the transformative power of Buddhism and cultivate a deeper understanding of the path to inner peace and fulfillment.
