Cross River Meditation Center Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on April 5, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.
This Thursday's class is the week eleven class of our 2018 12-week Dhamma study based on my book The Truth Of Happiness. Our study this week is on Rebirth.
The Buddha taught that an awakened, fully mature human being ceases wandering mindlessly through endless eons of confusing, unfulfilling, and disappointing individual life experiences.
“This was the third knowledge I attained in the third watch of the night. Ignorance was destroyed; knowledge arose; darkness was destroyed; light arose — as happens in one who is heedful, ardent, & resolute. Birth is ended, the integrated life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for this world.” (Majjhima Nikaya 19)

Each Thursday class will have a twenty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
