The Nine Stages of Shamatha

The Manchester Shambhala Meditation Group is pleased to offer a 6-week course on The Nine Stages of Shamatha, running Tuesday nights May 26th – June 23rd from 7-9pm, plus a Sunday practicum (meditation and teaching) on June 28th from 9am-1pm. The course will be taught by Jason Newman and Roger Guest.

The Nine Stages of Shamatha provides a map of the meditative process, exploring how the stability, vividness, and strength of the mind can be brought to the fore and utilized in our everyday life through these progressive stages. This course is suitable for beginner and advanced students, and meditation instruction will be provided. We will be using the book Turning the Mind into an Ally by Sakyong Mipham, which is available at the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, VT.

The suggested donation is $10 per class, or $50 for the 6-week course, though we welcome any contribution. The Manchester Shambhala Meditation Group is located at 107B Bonnet Street, Manchester, VT. For more information, please contact Martha at 802-325-3146 or Bethany at 802-375-6353.

The readings from Being Human will be made available here to course students. (In respect of copyright, the readings are accessible via password only to course students. If you have not received a password via email, please call Bethany.)
