Sundays, Jan 4 – Feb 8, 10a-12p
Onsite at Nalanda West + On Zoom
The Four Reminders are also known as Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind Towards Dharma. These contemplations include our precious human birth, impermanence and death, karma (cause and effect), and the sufferings of samsara. By reflecting on these reminders within a mind training or lojong context, we can bring these reminders into our everyday life.

The activities of our daily life, whether at our jobs, in our relationships, or in the sangha, offer profound opportunities to bring the precise, mindful awareness we cultivate through meditation into our experience off the cushion. Mitra Dean Mark invites us to explore the connections between our mediation practice and our daily lives, touching on fundamental concepts of the Buddhist path including the accumulation of merit, karma, and moment-by-moment mindfulness.
