About Jude
Jude has been practicing Buddhist meditation from the three main Buddhist traditions for more than 30 years, teaching for 15 years, and has been an instructor for the Insight Meditation Correspondence Course for 10 years. The Correspondence Course was authored by Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg and is published by Sounds True Recordings. Jude has degrees in Philosophy and East/West Psychology and was Director of Merriam Hill Center's Meditation Studies Program in New Hampshire for several years. In winter 2002, with Pema Chodron at Gampo Abbey Nova Scotia, she took temporary ordination as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. She most recently taught classes in Mindfulness and Lovingkindness Meditation and Women in Religion at Maui Community College, The University of Hawaii, and in Tacoma, Washington. For the foreseeable future, she will be dividing her time between practicing in retreat in Crestone, Colorado in the Tibetan Dzogchen tradition with her present teacher Tsoknyi Rinpoche, and teaching meditation in the Puget Sound area of Washington State.
Dana
These classes and groups are offered by "Dana" Donation. "Dana" is a word from the Pali language spoken in Asia at the time of the Buddha. It means "generosity freely offered." It is felt that these teachings are too precious to be bought and sold, thus the teachers rely on the generous support of others to continue their teaching. In addition, those with the resources to donate more help those without funds through their generosity, and the classes can remain open to all. A Dana basket will be available for your donations. Thank you for your kindness and support.
