About Chicago Weekly Sitting Meditation Group

The purpose of this group is, as the Buddha said, to seek out "wise & beneficial friends" who support us and our Meditation practice. Namely we are looking for a group of beginning & advanced students, and anyone interested who is willing to learn, to motivate each other by coming to (and becoming a regular part of) a weekly sitting meditation group. All teachers agree: The key to a successful meditation practice is a regular practice; and therefore this group is looking for people who realize the benefits of meditating together and who want to make a dedicated effort to sustain a once-weekly meetup for sitting meditation (with instruction, as needed). Tea/Water and discussion/mingling before & after. Organizer has completed meditation teacher training, but is mainly a student having studied in Thailand & India. This meetup is open to all schools of thought and meditation formats, and also for anyone willing to co-organize. Please step forward. The development of wisdom through regular meditation practice can lead to a decrease of "suffering" as well as an increase in inner peace and compassion for oneself & others. You asked for it, you got it. Please join us, you are most welcome.
