In this program we will talk about the Buddhist concept of endless space and time. We will discuss Hindu-Buddhist ideas of endless space and time, and try to access Timelessness in meditation. Buddhism teaches us that there is no reason to be committed to time as our reality. We will also explore modern scientific research that has been done on meditators who achieve a state of timelessness. Focusing on Timelessness usually calms the mind and helps practice reach new depths. Through guided meditation, we will try to access a felt sensation of infinity in a single moment!
