Join Sharon Salzberg and Narayan Helen Liebenson — longtime friends and colleagues — for a lively exploration of their lives in the Dharma and a celebration of the power and delight of spiritual friendship.
In a free-flowing conversation, Sharon and Narayan will discuss what the teachings have meant to each of them over the decades and what might lie ahead. They will honor and celebrate the CIMC’s focus on “Dharma in daily life”, the recognition that meditation and the teachings of the Buddha truly come alive amid our busy, everyday lives. And as they reflect on the values of spiritual friendship and talk about their decades as Dharma practitioners and teachers, they will share ways they have found to balance resting and engaging with the world.
This program is a special benefit to support the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center and to inspire gifts to CIMC’s 2023 Annual Appeal. Sharon has been a CIMC benefactor since the Center was founded almost 40 years ago, and she is generously donating her time to support the CIMC once again. Please join her by making a gift to the Annual Appeal.
This program is appropriate for both new and experienced meditators. Everyone is welcome. Our time together will also include silent practice, and questions.
