"One of the things that kills Bhuddist life is excessive seriousness" - Gil Fronsdal

We are tremendously lucky to be hosting Gil Fronsdal for the second installment of the Kalyāna Meets series. Gil is among the most respected teachers in the west today. His teaching, writing and scholarship draws on 50 years of practice in the traditions of Sōtō Zen and Insight Meditation, as well as a Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Stanford. We are particularly inspired by his emphasis on the role of kalyāna, which he translates as ‘the beautiful’, on the path to liberation and peace.

Event details

This half-day event will include dharma reflections, guided meditation and a question and response session. No prior meditation experience is required: the event is appropriate for both beginners as well as experienced meditators.

Cost

All of KDC’s events and retreats are freely given, meaning there is no fee to attend. If you do feel moved to make a contribution, Gil has kindly offered for all proceeds to go towards funding KDC’s 2027 six-week retreat. Information about that event, here.
