This instruction at the Berkeley Buddhist Priory provides an introduction to basic Zen Buddhist meditation. Our meditation practice is to sit still with an open, alert, and bright mind, neither suppressing nor indulging the thoughts and feelings that arise. In meditation, we open our hearts to the Source of "Great Compassion" and learn how to gently accept and embrace ourselves and the world. Profound transformation becomes possible when we stop judging and simply see things as they are.

Hi there -
This doesn't seem like an appropriate announcement for Albany or Berkeley Patch.
1) the…Read More category is Announcements/Around Town and these events are all in Marin
2) Patch's "Terms of Use" say "You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate agreement with us that says you can." This is clearly solely a commercial venture, not a neighbor of ours or local organization providing a community service and charging for the service.
3) I went to the Novato website and saw this listing:
"Ettiquette (sic) Series for Kids - 17737
Ages: 7 Years to 11 Years
- Residents $150.00
- Non-residents $163.00"
4) These items push our items of local interest down and out of sight. Especially now that there is no box indicating the stories with the most recent comments, as there used to be on the Patch front page, out of sight does mean out of mind.
Charles, what are your thoughts here?
Thanks.

Can you please post their hours / days of operation ? As i recall, they're only open afternoons a…Read More few days a week, and it won't do to just leave donations outside ( they'll be scavenged ). And i was not able to find the info online.

Thanks, Christopher.
Open Community Hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6pm so anytime those days…Read More are definitely fine.
They're there (84 Bolivar Drive - Aquatic Park) most of the day Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Classes and the doors are locked. I just spoke to Amber Rich and she asked you to call them at 510 644 2577 and let them know what time is good for you and they will be sure to be there.
Thanks for your generosity!

Thanks for the update but I am worried. This is very distressing. How will Eric and Tarina be able…Read More to afford their annual lengthy hipster vacation if they have to cough up lawyer fees? I am sure they were expecting that UCB (aka the rest of us) would pay Mr. Siegel's bill. Now they may have to resort to staying home and eating Top Ramen out of their charming and cheerful "made in Asia by small children but they're not slaving for 14 hours a day in front of our faces so we don't care" ceramic bowls. Oh noes! Bad, bad, very, very bad news.
