We have Nectar of the Path practice sessions twice a month, on the first and third Sundays. We work with this practice for about an hour before our regular sitting group. This practice, written by Mingyur Rinpoche in 2010 while on retreat at St. John's in Minnesota, covers many of the core elements of Buddhist teachings, with chants, aspirations, and meditation practice. This is open to everyone. At the same time, please note that this is a "Buddhist" practice: it is based on the fundamental Buddhist concepts of refuge, bodhicitta, and relationship to the teacher. If you'd prefer a secular approach, please join us at our regular sitting sessions every Sunday from 9:30 to 11:00 at the same location. More info on the practice can be found here: https://learning.tergar.org/2016/04/23/nectar-of-the-path/ We are meeting online for the time being. Please write to chicago@tergar.org for the Zoom link.

These special meditations are deeply steeped in the Tibetan tradition and often appeal to those who resonate with mystical or symbolic meditation practices. After generating compassion, one visualizes being immersed in a special quality or state of mind such as healing, wisdom, or purity. The meditations also include quiet contemplation of symbolic imagery, such as meditation on the Buddha. Many people who come to this for the first time experience a wave of peacefulness and a fresh, heart-centered aliveness. The spring meditations will be primarily Buddha of Compassion, Medicine Buddha and Buddha Shakyamuni with other meditations occasionally offered.

Take time to unwind your mind every day with a group of meditators. You will have the opportunity to practice meditation with guided commentary, silence and also listen to *meditation*

Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
