Description:
Namchak is a local Tibetan Buddhist Organization dedicated to sharing time and lab tested meditation practices and other tools to help people live happier more fulfilled lives! Join us for our monthly Sangha (Community) gathering in person or online.
This event is free and open to the public!
This month’s Sangha gathering: Tuesday, Feb 7, @ 5:30-7:30pm MST
This month teacher and Tibetan translator, Justin Kirkwood will discuss the Perfection or Paramita of Generosity. Building on last month’s theme of bodhicitta, Generosity begins with the altruistic intention of benefiting others. Developing the “mind of giving” serves as the antidote to our attachments. They cannot exist together. True generosity is offering something to which we are attached without expectation of reciprocity or recognition. Join us for this month’s teachings and discussion about how to cultivate the “mind of giving.”One Community Gathering Description
About our One Community Gatherings:
Each month, we come together as a community to meditate, share, and connect around our practice. Each gathering is facilitated by a different Namchak peer, staff member, thought leader or teacher around the theme of the month. Sometimes our agenda closely follows our Learning Circle model, which includes check-ins, a Dharma talk or shared resources around the theme, journaling, small discussions in break-out rooms, full group discussions and group practice. The culture of this format encourages active participation, but participants always have the right to pass. Other times the format follows that of a formal dharma talk from a teacher, where a teaching is given followed by a Q&A session. This month will be a combination of a dharma teaching, a book launch, an inquiry around these themes, and practice of these meditation techniques. This session will be recorded, so individual sangha members and Learning Circles have continued access to these teachings.

Location: Justin will be joining us in-person in Missoula or you can attend online via Zoom (Address and Zoom link sent upon registration)
