Meditation + Talk: Coming Home: Resting in Peace and Stillness
February 4, 2024

This Wednesday Night Meditation included a 33-minute meditation and a 40-minute talk about Coming Home: Resting in Peace and Stillness, from guest Teacher Stephen Doetsu Snyder.

Stephen Doetsu Snyder, began practicing meditation in 1976. He has studied Buddhism extensively, including Zen, Tibetan, Theravada, and Western non-dual traditions. He was authorized to teach in the Theravada tradition in 2007 and the Zen schools of Soto and Rinzai in 2022. He is a senior student of Roshi Mark Sando Mininberg. Stephen encourages students to turn toward their true nature and embody their true identity. He is the author of four books, including Buddhaโ€™s Heart and Demystifying Awakening.

I hope you find it helpful, and you are welcome to join my free Wednesday Meditations โ€“ which are open to everyone!

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself โ€“ called โ€œdฤnaโ€ โ€“ to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of โ€œself,โ€ and ripples out into the world to touch many people โ€“ and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.ย
