Shantideva Center 432 6th Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11215

<h4>Fri Nov 6, 7–8:30pm&nbsp;</h4>
<h4>Sat–Sun, Nov 7–8, 10:30am–4:30pm&nbsp; </h4>We invite you to join us for a three-day teaching on Mahamudra, the profound meditation tradition that points directly to the innate clarity, openness, and wakefulness of mind. Rooted in the Buddhist lineage of experiential insight, Mahamudra offers simple yet transformative instructions for recognizing awareness as it is—beyond concepts, struggle, or fabrication.&nbsp;
With Tilopa’s “Ganges Mahamudra” as our guide, we’ll explore:
<ul><li>Understanding the view of Mahamudra</li><li>Resting naturally in awareness</li><li>Working skillfully with thoughts and emotions</li><li>Deepening confidence in direct experience</li><li>Integrating meditation with daily life</li></ul>
This teaching supports both new and seasoned practitioners. Who it’s for:<ul><li>Meditators seeking deeper experiential insight</li><li>Practitioners wishing to clarify the nature of mind</li><li>Anyone drawn to a direct, nonconceptual approach to awakening</li></ul>
No prior experience with Mahamudra is required, only sincere interest and openness. Come discover the simplicity, depth, and freedom of your own awareness. The nature of mind is not created—it is recognized.
Elaine Jackson has taught online at the center, including <a href="https://shantidevanyc.org/elaine-nov24/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Developing a Sustainable Meditation Practice</a> and <a href="https://shantidevanyc.org/elaine-feb23/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Cultivating and Deepening a Meditation Practice</a>. We are delighted to welcome her to the center in person for the first time. Elaine has a deep meditation practice and is well known for her understanding of Mahamudra. If you are able, we invite you to experience these teachings in person. They are particularly well suited to an in-person setting, offering the support and inspiration of being in the presence of a trained teacher and fellow students.

As part of this year’s New York Comedy Festival, the 11th Annual Hot Guy Draft is an interactive comedy show that pits comedians against one another in a fantasy draft of hotness. On Sunday, November 8, comedians use their expertise in the field of hotness – and plenty of help from the audience – to build a team of 2026’s hottest celebrities, characters, historic figures, and even cartoons. This year’s arbiters of hotness include Natasha Vaynblat (Tonight Show), Jake Cornell (Comedy Central), Jenny Zigrino (HBO), and Courtney Fearrington (Empire Strips Back)
Everyone in attendance has a chance to win prizes, compete in trivia, and voice their opinions on who’s hot and who’s not. Imagine the rigorous competition of live sports with the thirstiness of a bachelorette party. Hosted by luminary in the field of desire, Kenice Mobley (Netflix, The Tonight Show), resident hot guy Jay Jurden (Hulu), and play-by-play analyst and sports expert James Hamilton (NBC Sports, VICE).
Lineup:
