A Benefit for CIMC

Are our spiritual practices aligned with the true way of the Dharma? We can so easily lose our orientation toward awakening when we empower the sense-of-self to act on freedom’s behalf. However, when we use all of our practices to “thin” the sense-of-self, we stay honest to the Dharma's true intent.

This daylong program will recommend a simple reinterpretation of our practices to encourage the goal of awakening. Freedom becomes accessible when we use our practices to see through the tightly-packed and separate person which conventional reality believes us to be. We will learn how to use the meditation instructions to reverse that conditioning and see through our “self-density”.

Our time together will consist of dharma talks, silent and guided meditations, and Q & A. This program is appropriate for new and experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome.

Rodney is kindly offering this workshop as a CIMC Benefit. If appropriate, please consider choosing our Benefactor Rate when registering.

Rodney Smith, a former IMS Guiding Teacher, has taught meditation for over 30 years. He is a former Buddhist monk, worked in hospice for 17 years, is the author of Stepping Out of Self-Deception, Awakening: A Paradigm Shift of the Heart, and Touching the Infinite. He is the founding teacher of the Seattle Insight Meditation Society.

There are no prerequisites for this program. Everyone is welcome.
