Information Session | Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha pilgrimage
2024-11-20 10:00 - 11:30
We are really excited for this wonderful opportunity for an MTCP alumni only trip to India to visit the actual sites where the historical Buddha was born, spent his childhood, attained enlightenment, taught, meditated and where he passed away. Shakyamuni Buddha discovered the truth of overcoming suffering and bringing happiness to the individual, family and society. Before he died, the Buddha suggested that it would be of great benefit to those who are interested in his teachings to make a pilgrimage to the places associated with his life. We will travel in the company of Shantum Seth, an experienced and renowned guide on the Buddha’s path, who has been leading pilgrimages since 1988. A Buddhist scholar and practitioner, he is an ordained Dharma teacher in the Zen tradition of the Vietnamese Master, Thich Nhat Hanh. As we journey, Shantum shares stories and teachings of the Buddha and the practices of daily meditation and mindfulness. This spiritually transformative journey will also be intellectually stimulating, exposing the mind to challenging ideas and diverse lifestyles.

The information session is from 10 – 11:15 am ET; pilgrimage is from November 30 – December 13, 2025 and will also be co-led by MMTCP Mentor Anne Cushman. More about the journey and Shantum.

Please RSVP for the information session by clicking yes/no; the Zoom link is here.

MCMT Sangha - Embodying and Radiating the Brahmaviharas
2024-11-09 12:00 - 13:30
The Brahmaviharas are often taught and practiced using phrases such as “may you be well”. The Buddha also taught a practice of radiating these four divine abodes without using phrases. In this session, we will explore an embodied practice of radiating loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy and equanimity to ourselves and others.
