Dharma Lounge offers a weekly space to join with others to informally study and practice meditation, that which sustains us and aligns us with our highest potential, in a relaxed way.

Overview of Topic of Study:

Sattipathana, The Direct Path to Realization: The Dhammas

The fourth foundation of mindfulness taught by the buddha offers a concise summary of his teachings (the dharma). Join Frank Jude in an exploration of the teachings in the relaxed format of Dharma Lounge. No previous experience is required. Sign up for the whole series or drop-in as your schedule permits. Each session is designed to be "self-contained." In Part One we'll investigate the Five Hindrances that can derail a yoga/meditation practice -- and by implication -- one's very life!

About Poep Sa Frank Jude Boccio:

My interest in Buddhism dates to high school, reading books by Christmas Humphreys and Alan Watts after my sister died in 1972. It wasn't until 1977, however, with my first marriage disintegrating, that I took my first yoga class. Though we were told that asana practice was to prepare the body for meditation, we never got to meditate in class! One day, browsing in a bookstore, a book fell from an upper shelf striking me in the head. It was Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki, and it was all the prompting needed to get myself to the zendo! In 1992 I began practicing with the Vietnamese Zen Master, Thich Nhat Hanh. In 1995 I took refuge and precepts with him, and received certification as a yoga teacher. In 1997 I was ordained into the Order of Interbeing. 

In 2000 I began study with the Korean Zen Master, Samu Sunim, who ordained me as a Poep Sa (Dharma Teacher) on July 4, 2007. Since my book, Mindfulness Yoga: The Awakened Union of Breath, Body and Mind, was published in 2004, I have had the great fortune to travel, sharing teachings and practices that have literally saved my life! 

Happily, life has brought me to Tucson where I now make my home with my wife Monica, our daughter Giovanna, two cats and two chickens. I've founded the Tucson Mindfulness Practice Community, and feel delighted to be offered the opportunity to share meditation and Dharma instruction through YogaOasis' Mind Lab meditation class established by Will Duncan. I offer deep gratitude and appreciation to all my teachers, most especially Thich Nhat Hanh, Samu Sunim, Swami Satchidanda, John Friend, David Swenson and Beryl Bender Birch.
