In each moment we have a choice: to open to the present circumstance or to close down into our familiar patterns. Truly opening our heart to others is a process. The Dharma, in its multitudes of methods, offers us a wealth of material to apply to that process. Through periods of teaching, meditation and discussion, we will explore various Buddhist methods for opening our heart to others and healing emotional patterns that may be subverting our efforts.
Teacher: Tenzin Namsel is an American Buddhist monk in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Namsel met the Dharma in Boston, MA in his early twenties as a college student at Berklee College of Music.
