Theravada Buddhism is the oldest of the Buddhist religions. We are a Theravada Buddhist group--sort of, see below--that offers a day of silent sitting and walking meditation, usually on the fourth Sunday of each month, at the home of one of our founders, Walter. The founding members are experienced meditators, each with over 25 years of meditation experience. In the US, the best known Buddhist religions are Theravada, Zen, and Tibetan. The differences between them, particularly between Theravada …

Greetings! This Meditation and Study Group is a group belonging to the Palyul School of Tibetan Buddhism. Palyul is one of the six great "mother monasteries" following the Nyingma School, or Ancient Translation Tradition, of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery was founded in 1665 in the Kham province of eastern Tibet (present-day Baiyu, Sichuan, China) by Kunzang Sherab, the First Palyul Throne Holder. The purpose of this study group is to offer regular meditation opportunities along with classes le …

The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracting in Maum Meditation the Un …

Are you interested in exploring, studying and practicing meditation in the Himalayan yoga tradition?  A small group or groups will meet regularly to pursue spiritual growth through meditation. Our time will be split between exploration and study of the traditional 8-fold path of yoga based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the practices on that path, with the focus always on meditation. Prayag is a Sanskrit word meaning a confluence or joining of sacred streams or rivers. Each of us is such a …

This is a group for like-minded individuals who want to raise their level of self-awareness. Have you ever asked yourself “Is this all there is?” Whether life has been pain and suffering or you have achieved everything you wanted, still there is within us that feeling that there must be something more. Something beneath the surface that gives life a deeper meaning. A suspicion, that, when you leave this life, you will say “Ah hah! I knew it! It was there all along and I never even put in 80% eff …

There are many good sources of information about G. I. Gurdjieff and his teaching. We would rather meet you in person than give you more things to read. We have found in experience that face-to-face work with a group of companions is essential to practicing the teaching. Our study takes the forms of discussion, meditation, practical work together, and sacred dance. Please send an inquiry if you like.  Look us up on Facebook as the Maryland Gurdjieff Society. Or check out our website, a work in p …

Humanity, a discovery that brings an individuals state of being into the kingdom of ones existence. This process is challenged by mankind's determination to institute partiality, prerogative, and personal choice over the will, the mind, and the spirit of another soul. All we have is our intellectual resolve, the intimacy of belief, and our right to strive for quintessence. I welcome those conscripted by the spirit to not only dialogue about such, but to also become ambassadors in the sublime pro …

"T'ai chi ch'uan (or Taijiquan) is a relatively modern phrase. It came about in the late 19th century. Before that, what we now know as Taiji was called by other names, such as hao ch'uan' (translated 'loose boxing') or its more correct name of dim-mak (translated 'the striking of the vital points' or 'death-point striking'). It's ironic that the art most people call Taiji has now been reduced to a wimp's boxing rather than the 'supreme ultimate boxing,' which is what T'ai chi ch'uan means. Once …

Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances. According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

Our dialogue is an attempt to explore together the nature of the self and profound questions of existence as they relate to our daily lives. Inquiring together as a group creates a mirror in which we can see our conditioning reflected as we expose ourselves to one another and to ourselves. At times it may resemble cognitive therapy or meditating out loud, but we use no techniques or practices, and the aim is not problem solving or self improvement but self discovery. Ultimately many of the quest …

Our dialogue is an attempt to explore together the nature of the self and the profound questions of existence Krishnamurti raised as they relate to our daily lives. Krishnamurti’s teachings are often referenced as a point of departure, but we are not attempting to promote any teacher or belief system. Inquiring together as a group creates a mirror in which we can see our conditioning reflected as we expose ourselves to one another and to ourselves. At times it may resemble cognitive therapy or m …
