DESCRIPTION:Daylong July 13, 2013 with Jeff Hardin on The Abhidhamma\nPosted on May 20, 
 2013	\n\nJoin us on Saturday, July 13, 2013, from 9am to 4:30pm at the 
 Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Stanislaus County in the Sarana Kuti, 
 2172 Kiernan Ave., Modesto, CA for a daylong with Jeff Hardin on:\n\nThe 
 Abhidhamma

\n\nA Practice-Study Daylong on Buddhist Psychology\n\nThe 
 Abhidhamma is perhaps humanity’s most precise and detailed system for 
 understanding human thought and behavior. Found in the third basket of 
 teachings of the Pali Canon, it describes physical and mental experience in 
 minute detail and on the momentary level. The constituent parts of reality 
 are analyzed and their diverse conditions and interactions are elucidated. 
 More than mere theory, however, the Abhidhamma provides the meditator with 
 a sophisticated yet clear map for dissecting momentary experience and 
 realizing liberating insights into the nature of reality.\n\nDuring this 
 study-practice daylong we will look at the history, theory and practice of 
 the Abhidhamma. Didactic, discussion and guided meditation sessions will be 
 integrated in order to explore the deeper meanings and movements of the 
 mind and to provide a framework for working with Buddhist psychology in 
 one’s own meditation practice and life. Please join us for an interesting 
 and thought-provoking retreat.\n\nJeff HardinJeff Hardin has been 
 practicing meditation since 2000. His areas of interest are participating 
 in residential meditation retreats, studying the original discourses of the 
 Buddha (the Pali suttas), and providing international humanitarian relief 
 work. He is on the board of the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies, a 
 volunteer for Buddhist Global Relief, and a founder of Insight World Aid. 
 He is a graduate of the Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders program and a 
 Sacramento Insight Meditation community mentor. His supervising teachers 
 are John Travis and Gil Fronsdal. Jeff is an emergency room physician in 
 the Sacramento area.\n\nThis day is freely offered to all.  Donations are 
 gratefully accepted to support the teacher and future offerings.  Please 
 bring a vegetarian potluck dish to share for lunch, if you would like.  For 
 the sake of those who may have sensitivities or allergies, please do not 
 wear scented or perfumed products.  If you have a meditation cushion, 
 please bring it.  Chairs will be available.  Suitable for all-levels of 
 practitioners. A printable flyer is available here.\n\nSarana Kuti is the 
 small stand-alone building on the UUFSC property at the rear of the east 
 parking lot (the building with red and gold trim). It is behind the Johnson 
 Building.\n\nFor additional information, please contact Lori Wong at
