Hello from Montreal Canada
Hello from Montreal Canada
Hi everyone, I find myself here after moving from Martial Arts to Zen and finding myself wanting to delve deeper into my practice. Is there anyone here from the Montreal area ?

Montreal is a beautiful place but I don't live there currently.

Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

Welcome Brian!
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

Re: Hello from Montreal Canada
I find my practice moving towards Theravada, I attended a few Zendo's in Montreal but they never really clicked. Presently my practice is mostly solitary at home and getting out to a sangha is proving challenging as I have children and one with a disability that requires a lot of attention. All that being said I did a find a group that sits on Sunday afternoons, and even though they are kind of far from me (I live way out from the city) I plan on trying to make that connection and sit with a group of like-minded people.LonesomeYogurt wrote:This might help in finding a Theravada group in your town.

Hello Brian,
I'm in Montreal as well and I am interested in the group you spoke of which meets on Sunday afternoons. There is so many readings and information available online but I am wanting to find some like minded people to meet with. Could you give me some contact details for the group?
Thanks,
Geoff

Re: Hello from Montreal Canada
Hello Brian!
I live in Montreal and I'm looking for a group also. I was able to find some addresses and I'll go visit all of them (or almost). Like you, I don't live in the city (island), but a bit outside. Every practice that starts very early in the morning would be a challenge
But I've been practicing alone for quite a long time now and I notice my motivation is getting a bit... difficult
