Tai chi is a form of moving meditation that can be practiced for both health and self-defense. It helps practitioners to develop balance, strength and stability, and contributes to a deeper examination of life.
Linda Adler has been learning and practicing Tai Chi for many years. Her practice, combined with her professional background in public health and patient decision-making, have led to her interest in helping patients find treatment which combines alternative and biomedical models of care. For 2009, the afternoon dharma talks will focus on the Eight-Fold Noble Path.

The Shorter Discourse on Emptiness (MN 121) describes an approach to vipassana that mindfully integrates calmness and seeing clearly. Through gradual descents into emptiness, the practitioner begins to intuit the ultimate emptiness: everything is empty of lasting selfhood and inherent existence. The more this is realized, the more we let go of "me" and "mine." We will consider the implications of this overlooked practice, along with other emptiness teachings. Guided meditation exercises will foster an experiential approach to these powerful, original teachings. Participants should read the discourse before attending.
Santikaro is the founder of Liberation Park, a modern American expression of Buddhist practice, study, and social responsibility located in rural southwestern Wisconsin. He lives there with his wife Jo Marie, various flora and fauna, and visiting friends, and continues to teach, explore nature, and translate the work of his teacher. Previously, he lived and trained as a monk at Suan Mokkh (Garden of Liberation) with Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, a leading Thai teacher and reformer of Theravada Buddhism. Ajahn Buddhadasa contributed enormously to fresh understandings of the liberating teachings of the Buddha that included intimacy with nature, the development of engaged buddhism, and a return to the original teachings of the Pali Canon with profound emphasis on the teachings of conditionality, emptiness, and mindfulness with breathing. These movements within Buddhism, initiated and nurtured by Ajahn Buddhadasa were unconventional in their time, and through the translations of Santikaro among others, came to influence our Western understanding of Buddhism. Santikaro returned to the Midwest in 2001 and retired from monastic life in 2004. Web sites: www.liberationpark.org and
