MeditationIn this six-week course, Bodhipaksa will explore a number of approaches to vipassana, including the six element practice.

The purpose of Buddhist practice is not simply to become a bit happier, but to go all the way to Awakening. This requires that we challenge our deeply held assumptions about the nature of the self. Vipassana is the approach to meditation in which we do this.
In vipassana we look closely at our experience and question our assumptions about it. We question the assumption that we are in some way permanent. We question the assumption that the self is one single thing. And we question the assumption that the self exists separate from the world around us. The end result is that we can free ourselves from delusions that cause us suffering. NOTE: NO CLASS NOV. 21.

At Aryaloka, we strive to make our programs available to everyone regardless of their financial circumstances. Our fee structure allows you to pay according to your means. The Sustaining price is for people comfortably paying their rent or mortgage, and who can afford the occasional meal out and movie. The Sustaining price level also helps Aryaloka offer lower prices to those who could otherwise not afford to attend. Any payment above this price is a tax-deductible donation. Mid-Level prices are for those who have a regular income and are paying their mortgage or rent. Prices at this level contribute to the range of Aryaloka’s operating costs. The Base-Levelprice is for those without an income or with an income low enough that making ends meet is a challenge. Those whose circumstances are not included above can call the office to arrange alternate pricing.
