FYI:
“We would like to encourage you to attend this Wednesday’s talk by Peter Grossenbacher, Ph.D. of Naropa University, on Meditation and the Brain. Dr. Gossenbacher is at Vanderbilt this week for presentations at an international Tai Chi Symposium, and has been generous enough to play hookey Wednesday night to address the Buddhist community and other interested people at the 12South Dharma Center.”
“It is a fascinating subject, and quite in line with the scientific nature of Buddhist practice in general (“Don’t believe anything; just look and see for yourself what is true”), and the secular approach of Shambhala in particular. There is no fee for this talk so that anyone can attend, but the Nashville Shambhala Group would like to compensate Dr. Grossenbacher as much as we can, so any small donations will be helpful.”
“The talk begins at 7:00, so please come a bit early to minimize disruptions in the room. Dress comfortably for sitting on cushions on the floor or in a chair, as Peter will include a guided meditation to illustrate his subject matter.”
