Everyone welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just as I wish to be free from suffering and experience only happiness, so do all other beings. In this respect, I am no different from any other being; we are all equal. ~ <em>The New Meditation Handbook\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our ability to let go of our self-centered view of the world and understand the experience of others, otherwise known as compassion, is fundamental to finding fulfillment and meaning in our life. Also Buddhist teachings on emptiness, the true nature of things, help us to dissolve the barrier between self and other that makes us feel isolated, independent, and separate from other living beings. Meditate on the extraordinary practice of exchanging self with others, that unifies emptiness and empathy, so as to experience this transformative wisdom in our heart. Join us for an enjoyable exploration of these ideas and gain practical tools on how to grow your experience of letting go of your ordinary sense of self\u2014and embrace the warmth and joy of identifying with and connecting to others.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">7\/4<\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">There is No Gap<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">14\/4<\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">Limitless Empathy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">5\/5<\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">Self as Other, Others as Self<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"312\">12\/5<\/td>\n<td width=\"312\">The Fearless Bodhisattva<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Teachings in English.<\/em><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>Donation is appreciated.
