"Like a handsome tree –
Come to Meditation slow
with the heart of youth
and grow slowly into it.
Why are you impatiently
in such an irritable hurry?
Time is simply a useful illusion.
An illusion of 'appearances' none the less."

What do Traditional Buddhists Actually 'Worship' ?
We could say: "Nothing", and be very Zen about it.
But in our relational-reality we Do give worship....
So in 'Buddhism', to what do we give 'Worship' ? *
is what we call "The Beginner's Mind" - in other words:
The Present Moment
that is right Here
right Now !
Buddhists Worship LIFE and everything that wholesomely supports Life .

Hi & Welcome to You 'Newer' Folks ~
.
We are all Newcomers to these 'American-style' Spiritual Journey-ings,
these Pilgrimages of Holy Consumption that we seem to be nationally on
- comparison-shopping the Spiritual Emporiums. Awkwardly at many times.
A sort of 'Fumbling Towards Enlightenment'. So be aware of your longings,
projections, and especially any of your impatient 'expectations'. Go slow.
Eventually you'll travel 'informed', calm, savvy & kindly. Be welcome to
come sit & walk with us for awhile. It's a long road. Did'ya think it wasn't?
.
...and HEY, please . . . Do Not Make Any of What's Written in Here into
'SOMETHING DAUNTING'. ~ Heck, It's Just Information - data - you can
skip most of it for right now, if you want. And as we all get to know each
other better, as you become a 'student' again for awhile & dedicate yourself
to being in a 'class' for awhile, we'll help you find your way thru the unstable
fascinations of the 'spiritual jungle'. That's our job as a Dharma Safari Guides
or Spiritual Coaches...
You do NOT have to be 'book-smart' or very intellectual to 'get' it.
Just like to ask lots of questions. If you're willing to give it a try -
you'll enter class, catch up & catch on quite fine. Be patient.
Be welcome at any time... for a one time visit -or- to start class.
Just phone that you're coming. ~ 310-450-2268 ~ That's about it.
Questions ? Phone us, absolutely no bother. Ask away !
.
C Ya' at your First Class... ~ Akasa

:: WHICH EVENING ? always phone us ahead to inquire which weekly evening
:: WHICH EVENING ? always phone us ahead to inquire which weekly evening

.
Have you seen section ( 4 ) on the sidebar ? .. it's where
.
:: CLASS DATES: You choose. Well, since you may join our Ongoing Classes
At Any Time – You can freely choose the most suitable dates for yourself.
Or that’s when you pick your own 6-Week Beginner's Class-dates to attend.
If you think you like the Class, just start coming for a bunch of weeks.
Have you seen section ( 4 ) on the sidebar ? .. it's where
"The Optional Beginner's CLASS-COMMITMENT" that we suggest is explored.
.
Do you need to set a Class-Start or End-'Date' for yourself ? ...
to fit in with your other plans – please speak with us upfront about
making that work for yourself. We'd like you to like being in a class
to really dig in and learn the Basic Sitting-Practice & Dharma-theory.

:: WHAT to BRING & Some Housekeeping ~
.
If you're a First-Timer / Newcomer - just come ... bring yourself !
.
:: WHAT to BRING ~
Bring your Willingness ! Bring your Bravery ! Always Bring your Open Heart !
In future, maybe you'll create a 'meditation tote bag' that has everything in it you'll
need, like your "Path with Heart" book & any handouts you'll be given.
Bring your own Water Bottle !! You may want to bring a Light Blanket or Shawl
to cover your lap, legs or wrap your body – try it, you'll like it. Wear loose clothes
so nothing binds, so breath & body-tensions can fully relax and fall away - and
shoes that come off easy. Bring a Notebook & pen. Chair-seating is very OK –
or we also have floor sitting or zen cushions, or bring your own.
.
.
:: CLASS FEE ~ 'DANA' - Your current Class is voluntarily & totally $upported by
your 'Gift of Kindness'. The usual 'suggested' donation of $15-$20 is for a full evening
class - and does feel quite fair & reasonable to ask -AND- No one is ever turned
away for lesser or lack of funds. 'Money' in relation to 'donations' is often a sticky,
awkward big issue for some. Good ! It's what's called a good "practice opportunity".
This could be a part of your 'practice' also ! Integrating Dana-Practice into our overall
everyday life-meditation practice – sometimes sweetly willing, at other times resistive
and begrudging. Notice it all. It is all basic 'Practice'.
.
We so appreciate your very kind 'Dana' ( 'Gifting' in Pali ) donations that make
a difference by contributing to help cover our class-time & operating-expenses
~ Gracias ! "Dana" is the Pali word for the 'Practice of Generosity'. Most teachers
traditionally do not 'charge' a fee for their instructions because 'The Dharma
Teachings' themselves are considered priceless - and are thus given freely.
Instead, Western teachers also do rely for their own support, like monks do,
on the kindness and generosity of others - mostly students who receive these
precious Teachings. "Dana Practice" gives both teacher and student the
active 'practice-opportunity' to apply what is most often difficult for some of us -
un-prompted generosity and open-heartedness.
~ We are always grateful and we so thank you !
Please be very most welcome to phone and talk with me about any of this !
( Noon - 6pm daily best phone times ) ~ 310-450-2268 ~

........ :: Some Basic HOUSEKEEPING Requests ::
.
.." PLEASE ARRIVE ON THE EARLY SIDE OF YOUR NATURE ! "
.
...We really do want to begin sittings promptly at 7:30 PM each time.
Come Early - We all really need some time to settle in & settle down.
.
FIRST-TIMERS NOTE: Class Space is very often at a premium here ~
it is more like a small cultural 'salon' - rather than a large zendo or a yoga studio.
So we request that you phone in ahead, first time, if you intend on coming - thanks ! Space here gets very limited. We generally have only a few places open
for potential new learners. When we offer Daylong Retreats, the space
we use is usually much more spacious.
.
:: IF something should get between you & being here - IF you can't make it
to the meditation class as you planned, please let us know asap by phone or email -
so we'll know - and we can arrange our small 'shrine' room accordingly.
And, please be prepared to stay for the whole class-evening: as the overall class
group synergy supports each other's meditation. Simply let the teacher know
if you do need to leave earlier, so there are no sudden, surprise-departures. Again, Thanks for your understanding... So always helpful to stay connected . . .

....“Ultimately, there are No Answers”
Our practice, as Rilke says is:
"To Love the Questions themselves! "
.
.
.:: "Doubts & Hesitations"
Those too are ALL a major, major part of your Meditation practice path.
We call it “THE PRACTICE of GREAT DOUBT” - and from a Buddhist perspective, that's a very good thing ! We encourage you to examine &
question absolutely everything! ( Not like other ‘religions’, huh ? )
Buddhists Love Doubt ! Our website has a whole section on Doubt.
.
"Inherent in a 'Question is often a disguised form of 'Suffering'
that is now revealing itself. Questions are good healing-opportunities.".
Dragging your feet about your coming ???
Dragging your feet about your coming ???
Class will also be fun ! We laugh a lot while deeply considering some
very serious issues about Life: ‘living’ & ‘dying’ & ‘existing’ & ‘suffering’
& 'joy' in ‘transcending’ the Ego-Life of the Mind. Create 'Time' for it !
.
:: More Questions? - Use the phone ~ be very welcome to phone us ! . . .
during the afternoons ( please, no email-dialogues: it really gets too laborious )
Talk with us about anything 'spiritual' or 'religious'. QUESTIONS ? ....pick up
the phone - Just Call & Ask 'em !!! No fee, no obligations at all for calling & asking.
We'll gladly give ya' a little phone-time. Any meditation class-related topics, questions,
spiritual-confusions or practice-issues. We'll offer you some pointers & direction,
or maybe suggest a resource for you, here or elsewhere. You can just run stuff by us.
We'll tell ya' what we know – jus 'cause we've been around that spiritual block before you.
Don't hesitate to call n' ask, no charge to ask...Best phone times: Noon to 6pm any day ~ 310-450-2268 ~

BOOKS & READING :: "A PATH WITH HEART" by Jack Kornfield -
is our core class hand-book, our gold standard meditation reference-guide,
for all classes we offer. Really use it as an ongoing 'Operating-Manual'
( not just as a straight read-thru ). This is a teaching 'primer' - mostly about
actual meditation practice-experiences & their emotional integration - along
with your developing meditation practice to help you develop a clear Informed "Dharma" Mind - to make a whole 'potential' for you that may lead to a new, clear 'experience' of a shifted understanding into a more True Reality for yourself.

2 other FREE online small booklets. That’s it ! All other reading is entirely optional.
