Collective Sharing of Delights or Difficulties
Short Reading: Guidance in the Buddhist Practices of the Heart
Discussion until 11:30
Following the guided meditation, we’ll give each other the opportunity to connect, to be supported in times of difficulty, and be witnessed in times of joy. The collective “Sharing of Delights or Difficulties” is formal practice of briefly naming a sorrow or difficulty, a joy or delight, and having the group witness and resonate with each other’s experience.
No prior meditation experience is needed to attend this program. Please make every effort to arrive by 10:30.
This program is offered freely, which means this is a gift to the community, and you are encouraged to pay the gift forward to help cover costs to the degree that you can. This is a program of the Bozeman Insight Community (BIC), offered to the entire Dharma Center community and general public.

Pali Canon Study Group

Pali Canon Study Group
Tuesdays 1:15-2:15 PM
In person and via Zoom
Although Bozeman Dharma Center houses groups from multiple lineages, one thing we all have in common is a reliance on the teachings of the Buddha. The Pali Canon is recognized as the earliest written record of the Buddha’s teachings, given before the Buddhist community divided into different schools. This peer-led study group will begin by tackling readings from the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha. You do not need to own the book to participate and do not need to commit to attending every week. Already having a practice and familiarity with the Dharma will be helpful.
Basic Schedule
1:15 Short sit
1:30 Read portion of Pali Canon with discussion afterward
2:15 Close

Current Facilitators

Andrew Cassidy’s practice began 15 years ago through a mindfulness-based stress reduction program. A data scientist and lover of the outdoors, he values mindfulness and meditation as tools for managing stress, anxiety, and ADHD. Rooted in a spiritual and dharma-based perspective, Andrew draws inspiration from the Buddha’s teachings, emphasizing compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom in daily life.

Brandon Temple is new to meditation and has been exploring mindfulness and self-inquiry over the past several years. His interest in dharma grew from an ongoing curiosity about human consciousness, and he is interested in cultivating compassion and awareness in daily life as a young adult.

Hayden Pritchard started his practice during graduate school at MSU, where he attended a mindfulness therapy group, meditation club and mindfulness-based graduate mentorship program. He joined the Dharma Center in 2025, and has since explored a variety of teachers and lineages. Hayden hopes to spread compassion and awareness among his peers and community.
