Awareness on the Path of Meditation with Kasumi Kato [20250109] (TMAD)

Appreciation, Gratitude and Challenging Times

The holidays can bring a swirl of emotions—joy and connection mixed with stress, old patterns, and sometimes the quiet ache of grief. Rather than trying to manage or fix these feelings, the “transforming” approach invites us to simply be with our experience in a warm and spacious way. When we rest gently with whatever arises, even sorrow and tenderness can begin to soften on their own, naturally revealing qualities like compassion, clarity, and resilience. In this talk, we’ll explore how allowing ourselves to fully feel—without pressure or judgment—can organically transform tension into openness, helping us meet this season with a grounded and open heart.

Finding Space in Holiday Emotions: Meeting This Season with an Open Heart

In this talk, renowned neuroscientist Dr. Richard Davidson talks about the cutting edge research he and others are doing on the the effects of meditation on the brain.

Myoshin and other members of the Tergar community traveled to Nepal and Tibet as a part of a larger pilgrimage focused around exploring the feminine within Himalayan Buddhism. They traveled to visit a number of female teachers, and visited sites where female practitioners have practiced. Myoshin and three of the other pilgrims from Minneapolis share their journey through photos, reflections, and stories of their time.

Special thanks to The Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism, which provided partial funding for the planning phase of the pilgrimage.

What do the feminine qualities have to offer? We all have feminine qualities within us, and they often go unappreciated and underdeveloped. Yet they are the very qualities that can help us to find balance in the world we live in. During this public talk we will look at how the feminine is spoken of within Tibetan Buddhism and what it could mean to invite the feminine into our life.
