We’re supposed to stop thinking in meditation, right? Then, what to do when thinking won’t stop? What should we make of all the thinking? Or maybe thinking has a place in meditation: if so, what is it?

Early Buddhist teachings offer numerous perspectives and tools for thinking during meditation and for how we think about meditation at other times. This workshop will survey some of the most important and useful of these perspectives and tools:

• quieting the ability of thinking to distract
• discerning between beneficial and harmful
• using thought to support meditation
• thoughtful forms of meditation

Please join us. The workshop will be suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike.
