Calm and Steadiness: A Buddhist Practice Workshop in San Francisco

Life gets heavy at times. Anxiety, trouble sleeping, a restlessness we cannot quite name. Many in our community turn to two practices for this, and in this workshop we will introduce both.
Pure Land practice and Chan meditation work differently, but both help the mind settle and focus. What people notice is that the steadiness does not end when the session does. It carries into the rest of the day, and into how they meet whatever comes next.
We will also touch briefly on what happens after death, along with other questions that come up in practice.
The workshop is led by two nuns from Dharma Treasury Temple, Master XianXin and Venerable XianPu.
