WMC Intermediate Level Course – Semester Three
Wednesdays 7 – 9 PM ONLINE - Zoom Only
May 21 - July 2, 2025
Led by Derek Kolleeny and Colleagues
A seven-week exploration of the Mahayana Buddhist contemplative tradition of the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages. The Progressive Stages of Meditation on Emptiness presents a series of meditation practices on a particular aspect of the Buddha’s teachings. The idea is that by beginning with one’s first rather coarse common-sense understanding, one progresses through increasingly subtle and more refined stages until one arrives at complete and perfect understanding. Each stage in the process prepares the mind for the next in so far as each step is fully integrated into one’s understanding through the meditation process.

In-person at the Aligned Center, Irvington, and also on Zoom, for those unable to attend in person.

Join us as we explore the authentic path of meditation and insight as originally described by the Buddha and skillfully transmitted to the West by one of the great Tibetan masters of our time, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. The course will be based on a curated sourcebook of readings from his work, and will include meditation, presentation, and discussion.
In addition to these Courses, also take note of our Discussion Groups and Open House Meditation Gatherings.
