The Future of Mindfulness at Mangalam Research Center
The Mangalam Research Center, a branch of the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center in Berkeley, California, led by the Head Lama, is organizing a two-day conference to explore the impact of mindfulness in today’s world.
The conference will examine how mindfulness has been adapted to modern contexts, without its traditional religious and cultural elements, and will discuss the potential risks and rewards of the practice. Attendance is open to the public both in person and virtually.
The upcoming event, “Mindfulness: What’s Next,” will be held on October 7th and 8th. It will consist of experts in the field of mindfulness and meditation discussing the successes, challenges, and potential future of the practice.
The event will feature the following speakers: Erik Braun, Ayya Santacitta Bhikkhuni, Donald Rothberg, Shogen Jody Greene, Nikki Mirghafori, Jack Petranker, Mushim Ikeda, Rev. Eli Brown-Stevenson, and Hozan Alan Senauke.
The conference will bring together academics and teachers of Buddhist meditation or mindfulness to examine worries, assess the current state of mindfulness practice and teaching, and debate its potential future.
