Integrating Practice and Study: Pariyatti Workshop with Chris Crotty (11/4/2023)
In personPariyatti (Pali) means to study or learn. In this workshop led by CfMIM guiding-teacher Chris Crotty, students will have an opportunity to begin exploring ways to integrate Buddhist teachings into the path of meditative development. First, we will consider how study offers both context and practical instructions for meditation. Second, we will examine how meditation practice tests, clarifies, and confirms the Buddha’s teachings, helping to render them personally relevant and meaningful. Through the integration of practice and study the dhamma is said to unfold naturally.
This is the first Pariyatti Workshop offered at CfMIM. As a foundational program, which introduces the Pali canon and covers basic concepts related to studying suttas and commentaries, it is encouraged for anyone who is curious about study or who thinks future Pariyatti Workshops might be of interest to them.
Pariyatti workshops include periods of meditation, instructional talks and teacher presentations, mindful communication, and time for personal reflection. Tea, coffee, and light snacks will be provided; please bring your own lunch.
No prior experience necessary; everyone is welcome—beginners and experienced meditators encouraged to attend.

Advance Registration is Required
Because social distancing means limiting the number of people in the meditation hall at one time, you must sign up in advance to attend. You may register weeks in advance or right before a class, but you won’t be able to register if we’ve already reached our maximum.
Face Coverings
Facemasks are not required but are recommended when social distancing is not possible. Please follow the Centers for Disease Control and Massachusetts state guidelines.
Maintain Social Distancing
Attendees are asked to mindfully maintain their distance from one another while on the property.
