Maraṇānussati

Mindfulness of Death

 Out first group meeting was held on 1/16/20 at 3pm. This group will focus on the Buddha's teachings on mindfulness of death, and to a lesser degree birth and metta.

       Some have asked why metta is included in this group:

1. In the four protective meditations, two regard mindfulness of death and one concerns metta.

2. Mindfulness of death can be a very heavy topic and I  have seen the recommendation of multiple teachers that metta be used alongside the practice. For example Ajahn Achalo highly recommends finishing Maraṇānussati practice with metta in several of his talks. 

This group is also for open discussion on your station in life regarding this practice.  It will be a very open format with the foundation being in the teachings of the Buddha.  Each meeting will end with a 10-15 minute metta meditation.  The group is never closed and will be open to anyone to attend at any point. Meetings will be held every fourth week on Thursdays at 3:00 pm, following the Thursday KM group that meets prior. (See the calendar for specific dates.)
