Class on the Buddha's Eightfold Path
Tuesday September 19, 2006 - Tuesday October 17, 2006 from 7:30pm - 9:00pm
Northfield Buddhist Meditation Center
313 1/2 Division Street
Northfield, Minnesota 55057 Get Directions
Taught by Mark Nunberg

Sept. 19, 26, Oct. 3, 10, 17
Tuesday evenings, 7:30-9 p.m. (sit at 7-7:20 p.m.)

This five-week class will explore the Buddha’s path of awakening as a relevant map for our lives. This map emphasizes right view, right ethical conduct, and right mental development as a balanced approach to freeing the mind and heart of stress and suffering. We will be using Bhante Gunaratana’s book, “Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness,” as a reference for those wanting additional background. Each meeting will include a talk, discussions, and guided sitting time. Participants will be expected to use the teachings as a focus of their meditation and daily life practice. The Center will be open for optional sitting meditation starting at 7 p.m.

Mark Nunberg is Guiding Teacher at Common Ground Meditation Center in Minneapolis. Mark began mindfulness practice in 1982 and has been teaching meditation since 1990. He and his wife, Wynn Fricke, founded Common Ground Meditation Center in 1993 for people interested in Buddhist mindfulness practice. Mark has studied with both Asian and Western teachers in several traditions including practicing as a monk for five months in Burma. His primary teachers have been Joseph Goldstein and the other Insight Meditation teachers who teach at the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Massachusetts. Mark continues to be a devoted student of Buddhist practice, putting aside several months each year for intensive retreat practice.
