Tim Harlan-Marks will give a dharma talk: topic TBD
(Tim's last dharma talk: On Wise Motivation
It"s that time of year when resolutions are set and put to the test! And for many dharma practitioners, this is a time to renew a commitment to practice. While we know that dharma practice is most effective when sustained in a steady way over the long haul, maintaining a long-term commitment to practice can feel like a tall order. How does one develop and maintain the motivation necessary to stick with practice through thick and thin? To meditate regularly and practice mindfulness throughout the day? This talk will explore the idea of motivation as an essential skill which can and must be cultivated to support a lifetime of practice. We"ll discuss some of the barriers which can get in the way of sustained motivation, and share tips and strategies for stoking and maintaining motivation through the inevitable highs and lows of the Buddhist path.
