The Magic of Awareness - Enlightenment as an Ordinary Human Experience

We are continuing with The Magic of Awareness, by Anam Thubten (Chapter 4). The Kindle version is available at Amazon, and low-cost copies can be found at [DealOz.com](https://price.dealoz.com/New-Used-Books/The-Magic-Of-Awareness/9781559393928?asin=1559393920&query=the%20magic%20of%20awareness%20anam%20thubten).

Conversations have been rich and varied. We begin with a short meditation to 'bring the mind home' from our busy day, and then discuss the Chapter. It's great if you've read it and come with comments and questions, but it's also great if you just show up!

Anam Thubten is coming to Boston!! Please save the date of August 15 - 17, 2025. It takes place at Hebrew College, 1860 Washington Ave, Newton. The Friday Night Public Talk is 7-9 PM. Saturday and Sunday Retreat is from 10 AM to 5:00 PM. Registration is opening soon.

This is an extraordinary opportunity to meet with a very realized meditation master. I strongly encourage you to consider making the 1 hour journey to see him. I will be there!

Rinpoche has been my teacher since 2013 and I can vouch for his kindness and unfathomable understanding and realization of the Dharma.

Our discussions are rich and open. Together, we strive to create a safe space for deep contemplation and thoughtful exploration of the ideas in this lineage of awakening.

Mostly, we meet on the first and third Wednesday afternoons, but always check here! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
