On Monday evening,Tim will be joined by the pastor of The Heart of Steamboat Methodist Church, Tim Selby, to explore the nature of being human from the Buddhist and the Christian traditions. The two Tim's have met monthly for the past 20 years as part of the "Exploring the Sacred" interfaith gathering of religious leaders in Steamboat. This promises to be another inspiring conversation. Please join in.

Please join us for our monthly dinner in the fireplace room at 6:00 before the teaching.

Here is the recording of last week's teaching.

Applied Dharma meets Wednesday, March 4th from 5:30 to 6:30 PM MT All are welcome! Sign up for the topic and more information.



The only source of every kind of benefit for others is awareness of our own condition.  When we know how to help ourselves, and how to work with our own situation…our feelings of compassion arise spontaneously, without the need to hold ourselves to the rules of behavior of any religious doctrine.

Contemplation of the Week - The Buddha As My Constant Companion

In the weeks to come as you go about your day, from time to time, take a moment to pause. Take just a few seconds to check in with yourself. Ask yourself, “how is my body? Am I rushing? Can I sense myself and the space around me? Ask yourself, “how is my mind? Am I daydreaming? Am I present to the world around me?” Ask yourself, “how is my heart? Am I connected with others in the world around me? Do I feel connected to them as fellow travelers along this journey of life who have the same dreams as I do and who are worthy, as I am, of having a good and meaningful life?”. As it is said, this natural curiosity and care is “like having Shakyamuni as you constant companion.”
