Raja Yoga and Satsang

Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

Movie Night
Movie: The Four Noble Truths:  Lecture by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
Date:    Friday, Jan 4th, 2019
Time:   8:00pm   (optional:  bring a dish or snack)

The Four Noble Truths YouTube Trailer

Lecture by:  His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso
Genre:  Drama
Length:  137 min

With a wise introduction by Robert Thurman and a great translation, the Dalai Lama gives a superb lecture on the foundational teachings of Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths!  This lecture occurred at Barbicon Hall in London.  The Four Noble Truths are the core of all of Buddhism. They are: (1) We suffer, not only active anguish but wide-ranging dissatisfaction and unease.  (2) The origin of this suffering is our clinging, desire and attachments.  (3) There is an End to suffering.  (4) That pathway out of suffering is the Eightfold Path.  

Hope to see you there!  ☺

Anthony Paul Moo-Young, known as Mooji, was born on 29 January 1954 in Port Antonio, Jamaica.   Mooji is a direct disciple of Sri Harilal Poonja, the renowned Advaita master, or Papaji.  Since 1999, Mooji has been sharing Satsang in the form of spontaneous encounters, retreats, Satsang intensives and one-to-one meetings with the many seekers who visit him, from all parts of the world, in search of the direct experience of truth. Few amongst the modern teachers of the Advaita tradition expound the 'knowledge of Self', and the method of self-inquiry, with such dazzling clarity, love, and authority.  His style is direct, clear, compassionate and often humorous.
