"Acknowledging fear is not a cause for depression or discouragement. Because we possess such fear, we also are potentially entitled to experience fearlessness. True fearlessness is not the reduction of fear; but going beyond fear."

Rachel gives a talk on fear and fearlessness and how we can work with these powerful feelings. Inspired by Chapter 4 of "Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior" by Chogyam Trungpa, all are welcome to attend this book discussion.

As You Are: Living In The Moment

 —  —

New York Shambhala Center Online

"The past is a fantasy and the future is a dream." In this Tuesday Dharma Gathering Rachel will address 'nowness'. All we really ever have is the very moment and yet our minds spend most of the time either projecting plans for the future or regretting or reminiscing the past. We will spend time this evening actually "as we are" and sharing our insights and experience of this practice.
