Dharma Teacher Walt Opie

Join Senior Visiting Teacher Walt Opie this Thursday, December 2 at 7:00 PM for a meditation and dharma talk: “Feeding on Joy“.
Also, this Sunday, December 5, Insight Meditation Society sponsors’ Walt for an online mini retreat: “Freedom from Craving“.

Craving leads to suffering whenever we fail to see that what we crave won’t really provide us with the kind of lasting satisfaction or happiness that we are seeking. The nature of craving is not to be satisfied. It is about lack. When we get stuck in this place of lacking something that we believe will bring us happiness, then we can really suffer.

Walt Opie

Walt Opie is a dharma teacher in the insight meditation tradition. He is a graduate of the Insight Meditation Society’s teacher training program and the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders training program. Walt began leading sitting groups specifically for people in addiction recovery in 2011. He started assisting and teaching on residential insight meditation retreats in 2017. Walt’s writing appears in the book collection Still, in the City: Creating Peace of Mind in the Midst of Urban Chaos edited by Angela Dews. He lives with his wife and daughter in Berkeley, CA, which is located on the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo-speaking Ohlone people.

11/18/2021 “Guidance on Establishing Mindfulness” with Dennis Warren

The Historical Buddha’s Guidance on Establishing Mindfulness In Meditation

To download this talk, right-click and select ‘save audio as’ or select the 3-dot menu to the right of the speaker icon.

The Historical Buddha’s formula for being skillful in meditation starts with “establishing Mindfulness” as a foundational element. This guidance points to the fact that the kind of Mindfulness needed in meditation does not just happen or appear by itself. It is something that needs to be intentionally established, monitored and sustained every time we meditate in order for our meditation practices to be skillful.
During this evening we’ll take a hands-on-look at: What does it mean to “establish Mindfulness” in our meditation practices? What does one do to establish Mindfulness? How do we know if it has been established? If established, how is it sustained?
These are basic, practical, experiential questions that provide a framework for helping us evaluate the soundness and quality of our meditation practice.
