What we’re about
* Note: this class is currently on break until the fall. We will send out announcements once things start up again.
Please join us for Monday Night Meditation led by Virginia Blum at Drong Ngur Jangchubling Buddhist in Wesley Chapel! Every Monday, 7pm - 8:15pm
This group is appropriate for both new and advanced meditators alike.
Each class will begin with some basic instruction, and a guided meditation session followed by group discussion and a question and answer session.
The class will focus on calm abiding (Skt. Shamatha) meditation based on the traditional Tibetan stages of calm abiding techniques, while also incorporating elements of mindfulness practices found in the "Four Foundations of Mindfulness Sutta," from the Pali Canon.

In addition to completing the traditional Drikung Kagyu Ngöndro, she has years of extensive meditation training in both solitary and group retreat settings.
