The No-Phone Hour

Dharma teaching +meditation

with N. L. Drolma

Take a break from screen insanity (say bye to FOMO) and make friends with yourself profoundly. Meditation is a way of being— alert, relaxed, and in tune with how things really are. We “sit” to quiet the mind and come home to peace and clarity (an all-encompassing awareness which is presently obscured by our breakneck speed and busyness.)

Meditation instruction and practice are interlaced with readings of commentary by renowned Tibetan Buddhist masters. There’s always opportunity for Q & A.

Ngawang Lodrö Drolma trained for umpteen years under some of the most revered Tibetan Buddhist masters of our time. But her first guru was the beloved children’s book author/illustrator Dr. Seuss, whose clever Cat in the Hat not only taught her to read, but how to be alone and not bored indoors on a rainy day.
