Welcome! A Note About the Coming Year
This is the beginning of a new phase in the development of the Institute and we are excited to launch our web log. Our blog will serve many functions for the Dedicated Life Community. Firstly, this will be a space for providing commentary, teaching, and discussion of spiritual and wisdom teachings. It will supplement materials available at the Dedicated Life Institute website. Second, the blog will be a vehicle for news of the community and the activities, meetings and retreats that are planned. Third, it will have links to other interesting materials and work. And finally, we hope to develop a forum for sharing, collaboration, and creativity around spiritual teachings and sacred experiences.
New postings will be made periodically, particularly by Martin Lowenthal as he gives teachings over the course of the coming year.
A note from Martin
I am new to the phenomena of blogging and the use of the internet as a form of publishing and teaching. It is my dream that what is offered here and on the Institute website will be a help to you and a celebration of the sacred dimensions of life.
I have recently completed being a guest teacher at a retreat on “Vast Silence” and feel renewed and inspired to begin a new year of teaching and writing after Labor Day.
I have recently completed two manuscripts on the subject of intimacy and am editing them to see about potential publishers. Selections from these works will become part of the teachings in the coming year.
I will begin teaching again at the Wednesday night meditation group in Newton, MA on September 5. The group will meet throughout the year on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Everyone is welcome. There is no fee and dana, a contribution of your choosing for the teacher and the Institute, is encouraged. The meetings begin at 7:30 pm and run until around 9.
The teachings during the year, including the winter retreat at the end of January, will continue the themes developed at the last winter retreat of transforming our habits of superficiality into sacred wisdom. We will use materials from the Home Study Program (see the Dedicated Life Institute website: www.dli.org) and from books like How to Practice: The Way to a Meaningful Life by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
