Open
Awareness Sangha is a group of friends who meet
for meditation and discussion on Monday nights, 7:30 pm at the
Cambridge Friends Meeting House. (The Friends Meeting House
is located at 5 Longfellow Park, Cambridge, MA 02138) The format
is very relaxed and open— anyone interested in contemplative
practice is welcome!
At
the heart of these meditation sessions is the silent exploration
of what we refer to as Open Awareness. We all know what it means
to feel closed, limited, vulnerable, or separate. What is it
like to allow ourselves to return to our natural condition of
openness, presence, non-separateness and ease? This is what
we explore in our meetings.
Those
who lead the meditations have known each other and been practicing
together for many years. They have all deeply explored a variety
of traditions— for some the Tibetan Buddhist practices
of Dzogchen or Mahamudra, for others the Indian traditions of
Yoga, or Advaita, or what is currently referred to as Nonduality.
However
all of these traditions ultimately point to the same truth,
the truth of our basic awareness or presence which is beyond
any tradition, practice or teaching. This is the presence we
share, and the presence we are, beyond words. This is what we
explore in our meetings.
This
group is unique in that there is no specific guiding teacher,
lama, or guru. We all meet as equals to question, share, and
inspire each other to explore the Open Awareness we most deeply
are. The meetings are suitable for newcomers as well as experienced
meditators, and all are very welcome.
