"One easily-made, very common mistake is to think that 'your reality’ is THE Reality.

You must always be prepared to bravely leave your reality for a greater one."

~or~

First, You May Wish to Visit the Overview of All Class DETAILS

 

YET... There are much fuller Details & Explanations about All Classes in the individual chapters here.

 

Mostly, what's on this site is for your very OWN reading – Not at all necessary for our weekly classes.

But the teachings found here will certainly add insight-aroma to the blossoms of Dharma as you continue to 'practice'

and study meditation. The actual Class 'Homework' itself - is to encourage yourself to SIT Meditation at home often.

 

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it !

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."

 

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~

 

 

All sentient beings are essentially Buddhas.

As with water and ice, there is no ice without water.

Apart from conscious beings, there are no Buddhas.

Not knowing how close the truth really, really is,

we struggle to seek it so far away ~

Yet you yourself are Buddha-mind !

Buddha is here now. In you !

 

~ Hakuin Ekaku Zenji ~

 

♦ With strong regard for individual spiritual-experiences,

    an open heart and free thought and creative expression,

    The Laughing Buddha Sangha strives to be both erudite,

    enlightening and entertaining in it's relation to the "illusory".
