What we’re about
Through in-person meetings at or around the Univ of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning, we are interested in furthering our understanding of both the perennial and more recent teachings and teachers of:
- Zen
- Advaita Vedanta
- Mysticism East and West
- Buddhism
- Philosophy East and West
- Self-inquiry (Nisargadatta, Ramana Maharshi, Richard Rose and others)
We are a discussion group for those serious about putting into practice what we learn and discuss, or for those curious who simply want to investigate the various approaches.
Our meetings are small, but since Covid are trying to re-establish our regular schedule again.

"What is Ego?"
Tonight's meeting will be an opportunity for each participant to describe or define ego in a single sentence. And as a group, we will investigate further the implications of each answer.Norio is a frequent visitor to our meetings as a guest speaker.
“I’m not a teacher. I’m not someone who knows something you don’t know. Just look for yourself and see what you see.”
Norio's talk “Recognizing the Human Dilemma” is from the April 2019 TAT retreat.
His book "Awake at the Wheel" is available on Amazon, or TAT Foundation Press: https://tatfoundation.org/products.htm.
