Earlier this month, I started reading Mindfulness in Plain English by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana. The book is basically a practical manual on practice of mindfulness meditation (vipassana aka insight meditation). I have been doing this meditation at least daily, sometimes twice daily since ordering the book.
Over the weekend while driving through the local downtown center, I noted a sign for a new yoga studio and their web address. Today, I logged onto the website and noticed they have a monthly class on meditation. Upon further inspection of the details, the class is taught by a monk from Sri Lanka teaching Theravada Buddhism, the tradition in which vipassana meditation is generally associated with.
I have pre-registered for the hour and a half course on meditation.
Synchronicity?
Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance. — Wikipedia
