OUR 2012 SCHEDULE
______________________
Teachings in the year 2012 at Cloud Cottage will be based on the ancient Brahmaviharas, or Four Immeasurable Minds, the elements of True Love as taught by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh--love, compassion, joy and equanimity. "If we learn to practice [these]," said Thich Nhat Hanh, "we will know how to heal the illnesses of anger, sorrow, insecurity, sadness, hatred, loneliness and unhealthy attachments." Judith will continue to share deeply personal experiences from her book and her life. Also incorporated in the teachings will be excerpts from Shantideva's Guide to a Bodhisattva's Way of Life, which encourages us not to cling to a notion of a separate self, but to live for the good of others.
