On Confusion, the Beginning of Wisdom: Guided Meditation and Buddhist Talk with Sharon BB

Chaos should be regarded as extremely good news. - Trungpa Rinpoche Confusion is sometimes given an undeserved bad reputation. In this evening’s talk, we will explore together how this view came to be, why it’s an obstacle to both ordinary human life and full awakening, and how we might work with it in our daily spiritual practice where we are invited to “..embrac(e) the chaotic, unstable, dynamic, challenging nature of our situation as a path to awakening.” The nature of life is to experience confusion and discomfort…What place are you not feeling? What part of you are you rejecting? What aspect are you not loving? What truth are you not willing to accept? - Rev. Angel Kyodo Williams Insight Meditation Community of Charlottesville (IMCC) is dedicated to the practice of mindfulness awareness, also known as Insight or Vipassana Meditation. IMCC provides a full program of weekly meditation, ongoing classes, daylong programs, and retreats.
