Bringing Thoughting Onto the Path of Insight

Date: 2025-09-18 Thursday

For this Sept. 18 sit we’ll be exploring the journey of  thoughts arising during our meditation practice.
Teacher Joseph Goldstein once famously said that in meditation, "There's nothing worth thinking about," while we meditators often feel that "Thoughts are bad," when thinking seems to be cluttering our practice. So what to do with thoughts that arise?

We'll explore this question of thoughts on the cushion and otherwise, plus ways in which mindfulness of thinking brings insight, and is a valid part of the path toward awakening.
