\nThe four protective meditations are a group of meditation topics designed to establish a firm foundation for growth in the Dhamma. The four are: recollection of the Buddha, meditation on loving-kindness, mindfulness of the bodily parts, and recollection of death. Over four Saturdays in August, Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi will conduct day-long sessions on each of these meditation subjects. Each Saturday class will extend from 9:00 am till 3:45 pm. We will start at 9:00 am with a half-hour silent meditation. At 9:30 am Ven. Bodhi will give a talk on the selected meditation subject, followed by a guided meditation until 11:20 am. After a short Q & A session, we will break for lunch. We will resume at 1:00 pm and continue practicing the selected meditation topic until 3:30 pm, followed by a short Q & A session ending at 3:45 pm.
\nThe schedule is as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi, <\/strong>originally from New York City, has been a Buddhist monk since 1972 and is highly regarded as a scholar and teacher. He lived in Asia for 24 years, where he was president and editor of the Buddhist Publication Society. He has been living at Chuang Yen Monastery since 2007.
\nLocation: <\/strong>Chuang Yen Monastery, 2020 Route 301, Carmel, NY 10512, in the Kuan Yin Hall.
\nNote: Because of a persisting health problem, Bhikkhu Bodhi may on occasion have to cancel a scheduled Saturday morning class. We therefore suggest that you verify whether each class will be given before you travel to Chuang Yen monastery.
\nThis verification can be done by either: (1) checking your e-mail, or (2) phoning the monastery.<\/p>\n
