Humility, dignity, and integrity are three attitudes of the mind-heart that allow us to transform our daily lives into our monastery for practice. When we cultivate humility, dignity, and integrity, they empower us to counter balance the ego’s clinging and grasping.

This online retreat will consist of sitting and walking meditation, short dharma talks, and time for questions and responses. Register for the Friday event, and one or two days of the weekend retreat at seattleinsight.org
