Insight Meditation South Bay
presents
Cultivating Joy
with Shaila Catherine
Saturday, April 1, 2006
9:30 am to 3:00 pm
Edward’s Hall of St. Timothy’s
2094 Grant Rd. Mountain View
Appreciative Joy (called mudita in the Pali language) is the capacity
to rejoice in the happiness and success of others, free from the
influence of judgment, envy, boredom, possessiveness, or jealousy. We
will cultivate joy as an extension of the loving kindness practice and
work through judgmental or competitive tendencies that may be
inhibiting our natural ability to rejoice.
Bring a bag lunch.
Chairs are provided and the floor is carpeted.
Bring your own sitting cushion if you prefer to meditate sitting on the
floor.
In the Spirit of Generosity or Dana, this day is offered without
registration fees. Two baskets will be available for practicing
generosity by offering voluntary donations (dana) to support IMSB and
the teacher with their ongoing efforts of serving the dharma. Voluntary
contributions are appreciated.
Shaila Catherine has been practicing meditation since 1980 and teaching
since 1996. She studied at the Sharpham College For Buddhist Studies in
England, and devoted several several years to studying with masters in
India, Nepal and Thailand. For more than a decade metta has been a
strong feature of Shaila’s practice. She brings a sensitive and clear
awareness to meditation guidance that enables beginners to learn
quickly, and experienced practitioners to find greater inspiration for
the deepening of practice. Shaila is founder and teacher for Insight
Meditation South Bay, which meets every Tuesday evening. All are
welcome to attend.
Mark your Calendars. A Saturday meditation program will be offered
