Buddhist Community Meditations
Thursdays in MIT Chapel
MIT Community members are invited to sit in quiet reflective silence weekly in the beautiful sanctuary of MIT Chapel. We maintain a quiet sitting time slot from 6:30PM ET to 8PM ET. Please follow MIT vaccination and on-campus registration requirements.
“Meditation(s)” is a series of virtual talks and conversations with invited contemplative practitioners. Our hope is to explore the depth and diversity of meditation practices beyond what appears in popular culture. While we celebrate the “utilitarian” focus on meditation techniques resulting in effects from wellbeing to performance enhancement, our hope for this series is to illuminate the audience on the original intent of such practices, aiming for alleviation of suffering, bliss, and freedom.
Speakers include Bhante Piyananda Mahathero, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Sharon Salzberg, Robert Thurman, and Bhikkhu Bodhi, Pir Zia.
