Weekly dharma and meditation lessons at Studio FUN:
Based on more than ten years of teachings received, Dan O'Brien has developed a course of study and practice which considers the questions:

• Why meditate?
• How do you meditate?

The classes approach the study of dharma teachings and meditation from the standpoint of learning about what it is that is not yet fully present (awake) in beings and explores various practices toward bringing about greater awareness/ awakening in beings.

This approach considers various teachings that have been passed on to the instructor by his very compassionate teacher, Achariya Doug Duncan from a tradition which is many, many generations old. The instructor having been learning from a widely experienced teacher for more than 10 years now feels that it is his turn to give back by sharing the teaching with others.

If you are interested in learning more about awakening for yourself, and would like to have some guidance and companionship in meditation, then please join these discussions/ meditations.

The teaching draws much from Buddhist teachings, though is universal in approach as well.

When: Thursday evenings beginning at 7:00 PM and ending around 8:30 PM

Where: SAORI Studio FUN
             1475 Meadow Lane

Telephone: 952-448-0527 (When you call note that you are calling about the dharma/meditation classes)

What to do:

• Classes will continue indefinitely on Thursday evenings, though may be canceled due to participant schedule conflicts or temporarily changed to other days, so please call ahead to make sure that class has not been canceled or changed.
• Classes will be held while sitting on the floor, so bring something substantial to sit on. We have several cushions, but may run out. Usually a rolled up blanket (or two) is sufficient, while a rolled up towel is usually not enough to support one sitting for any length of time.
• Bring an open mind and willingness to learn about the teachings and what they mean for you.

How much: Classes are given free of charge, though donations are accepted. There is no "fee" for the dharma/ meditation classes at the studio.
