Pali Canon Study Group
Tuesdays 1:15-2:15 PM
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
2:10 Short sit and closing chant

SoundGate Meditation
Thursdays, 5:30-6:15
Beginning September 21

This new weekly program will offer an opportunity to meditate using sound as a source of concentration. Experience how the union of breath and sound can anchor you in the present moment. No prior experience or registration necessary.
The Buddha instructed his students to bring awareness and sensory clarity to each of the six sense “gates” of experience. Just as we can anchor in breathing, we can anchor in body sensations, seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling or mindfully track the activity of the thinking mind.
These SoundGate Meditations offer a sound-scape of sensory experience to be your object of meditation, allowing you to linger in the experience of hearing (and take a break from other sense gates perhaps). A variety of sounds will be offered, bells and bowls, chanting, music, recordings of the natural world and soundscapes of our common humanity. While most are designed to be pleasant and carry beneficial intention, some will be neutral or varied in content.
You may simply relax and bathe in harmonious sound, or more intentionally bring elements of Insight practice to your meditation.
Check our listings below to see what will be offered when, or simply drop in with curiosity and explore.
September 21

Ann Marvin returns with her collection of Tibetan crystal bowls to create a healing soundscape of vibration and energy to celebrate the Fall Equinox. Many of you may enjoyed her offering at our Summer Solstice event and we’re pleased to have her back to launch our SoundGate series.
September 28

Annika Sophia Grace will share her angelic voice, singing and leading a Buddhist chant. Annika enjoys singing from the heart for healing and uplifting humanity and our planet. You may listen and savor the sound and intention of the chant or join in and offer your voice as well. The text of the Pali chant will be provided with an English translation.
October 5
The mission of Threshold singing groups is to bring comfort, beauty and companionship to those at the threshold of life. They offer the balm of music to soothe listeners in deep transitions- healing and easing into life or death.
