Becoming Buddha 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 April 12, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.
This Thursday's class is the week twelve class of our 2018 12-week Dhamma study based on my book The Truth Of Happiness. Our study this week is on the hindrances.
In the Nivarana Sutta, Anguttara Nikaya 9.64, the Buddha describes five specific hindrances to be mindful of. Hindrances arise from ignorance and aversion to developing understanding of Four Noble Truths.
"In order to abandon these five hindrances, one should develop the Four Foundations of Mindfulness…”

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.
