This six-week workshop style course will build on the first course and complete the material presented in the book. Like the first part, it will consist of guided meditation instruction, group practice, presentations, questions and discussion. Unlike the first part, it will also include individual meditation meetings with the instructor. The second part of the course focuses on:

· Identifying and working with obstacles to the practice;

· How thoughts and emotions released in meditation can be experienced as opportunities for opening further instead of as obstacles;

· How to use our sense perception as an avenue for transforming our mental and emotional world;

· Experiencing groundlessness as the source of joy and awakening.

Westchester Buddhist Center (WBC) is dedicated to the practice and study of Buddhism in general, and to the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in particular ("Cutting through Spiritual Materialism"; "Shambhala: Sacred Path of the Warrior"). Trungpa Rinpoche’s teaching style made Buddhism accessible to Western minds and lifestyles in the early 1970s, and brought the Shambhala Buddhist teachings on creating enlightened society to the West.
WBC was formed in 2009 in order to share the Tibetan Buddhist teachings and meditation practices propagated by Trungpa Rinpoche with friends and neighbors in Westchester County, New York. We also offer in-depth, text-based courses, and periodically host visiting Tibetan teachers and other noteworthy speakers, movies and other events.
Today, the Center is led by three senior students of Rinpoche: Jane and Derek Kolleeny and John Baker. Gene Bobker frequently leads meditation instruction. Teaching according to the perspective of Trungpa Rinpoche, WBC teachers emphasize an experiential Buddhism, one focused on ordinary, daily life. New and seasoned practitioners of all traditions are welcome!
