Cross River Meditation Center Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on March 15, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.
This is the week nine class of our 2018 12-week Dhamma study based on my book The Truth Of Happiness. Our study this week is the first class on Dependent Origination, Five Clinging Aggregates, and understanding not-self. My talk will be on the Loka Sutta. In this sutta the Buddha teaches the importance of becoming empty of ignorance of Four Noble Truths.
“Stress (Dukkha) arises in dependence on becoming ‘self.’ With the ending of clinging to ‘self’ and maintaining ‘self,’ no stress will arise.” (Loka Sutta)

Each Thursday class will have a twenty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
