Special Guest Speaker: Judy Lief
“Rabbit Holes and Distractions”
Sunday, February 16th
10 am – 12 pm
In-person at the Aligned Center, Irvington, NY
Our thoughts can be slippery, they can be alluring, and they can be entertaining. If we do not pay attention, we are at their mercy. Meditation practice can expose the traps and thought-loops that capture us. It is a way to free ourselves from unhealthy mental habits and gently bring our minds under control.
Judy Lief is a Buddhist teacher who trained under the Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. She has been a teacher and practitioner for over 35 years, and she is the editor of many of Trungpa Rinpoche’s books, including the recently published three-volume set, The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, which gives a penetrating overview of the three stages of the Tibetan Buddhist path from beginning to end. Judy is known for offering insights and practices stemming from the Buddhist tradition as a support for ordinary people facing the difficulties and challenges of modern life. Judy leads retreats and workshops as well as presenting online teachings. Visit her website here.
