In early times monks 
and nuns would walk from town to town and when invited, sit down and teach. Reviving the simplicity of this tradition, Khenmo is creating pop-up meditation in various communities around Portland. In each session Khenmo will give a short teaching and guide sitting meditation and/or walking meditation in the fresh air and beauty of Maine.
To schedule a Pop-Up Meditation in your neighborhood: invite Khenmo to come give a Dharma talk and simply gather friends, family and neighbors. It is traditional to make an offering from your heart in support of Khenmo and the nunnery ( in the old days one offered meals and shelter to monastics). email Khenmo: info@vajradakininunnery.org

Peace and contentment are within us. Yet we are too restless to allow stillness necessary for them to be revealed. Fear manifests as agitation. Longing for something to be different distracts us. Using timeless Dharma wisdom, Khenmo guides us to become a steadfast friend to our mind rather than a wary combatant. Building habits of gentle acceptance for whatever arises, you can relax into the peace of mind that has always been present. Learn how to connect to your inner peace and allow that peace to ripple out to all whom you love – and the world.

Looking back 100 years to World War 1 can be an occasion to reflect on our precious and short human life. Like the peace declared by the 1918 Armistice, meditation is a key to peace in our lives.
