A SPECIAL WORKSHOP SUNDAY APRIL 19th 1-3 PM
Introduction to Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation (Anapanasati Sutta) 
April 19 1:00 PM -3:00 PM
In person at the Philadelphia Meditation Center
For Details Contact
Nalaka Gooneratne (f448@protonmail.com)

A core element of developing a positive meditation practice is experiencing joy and equanimity in our meditation, and being able to extend that happiness into our daily lives.

"Mindfulness of in and out breathing, when developed and pursued, is of great fruit, of great benefit. Mindfulness of in and out breathing, when developed and pursued, brings the four frames of reference to their culmination. The four frames of reference, when developed and pursued, bring the seven factors for awakening to their culmination."
(MN 118 PTS: M iii 78 Anapanasati Sutta: Mindfulness of Breathing, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu)

This 2 hour interactive workshop will discuss practical strategies to help us apply mindfulness of breathing to enhance our spiritual training, with a focus on the early Buddhist text guidance. 

Recommendation donation to PMC: $20.
