Emptiness: A Practical Guide for Meditators
IMS Book Club
Monday, May 2
7:00 pm - 8:15 pm ET
It may seem odd for "emptiness" to serve as the central philosophy of a major religion. In fact, emptiness points to something quite different than “nothingness” or “vacancy.” By developing a richer understanding of this complex topic, we can experience freedom as we live consciously in the world.
Guy Armstrong has been a leading figure and beloved teacher of insight meditation for decades. In this book, he makes difficult Buddhist topics easy to understand, weaving together Theravada and Mahayana teachings on emptiness to show how we can liberate our minds and manifest compassion in our lives.
“For anyone seeking to understand emptiness, this is a clear and fine guidebook, with precise and practical ways to explore and deepen your practice.”―Jack Kornfield
This program will be recorded and made available for on-demand viewing after the live sessions. On-demand videos will be available for 90-days following the live event.
