Meditations
with Dr. Rick Hanson
Every Wednesday
6-7:30 pm PT / 9-10:30 pm ET

Much research has shown that meditation is a powerful way to develop greater resilience, compassion, and happiness – as well as strengthen the immune system and promote other health benefits.

Please join me for a free online weekly meditation, talk, and discussion. Everyone is welcome, and no background in meditation is needed. I draw on modern psychology and brain science, as well as the penetrating and pragmatic teachings of the Buddha.

We use the Zoom platform – just click a link to join – and my portion is recorded so you can listen to it at another time if you like.

Practicing Dāna: Cultivating Generosity

These teachings are offered freely, at no charge. And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself. 

Dāna offering:

Please enter your email and donation amount below. Once you click “Donate” you will be directed to PayPal, where you can pay via credit card (no PayPal account required) or your PayPal account.

  • Would you like to make this an automatic, recurring weekly donation?

Additionally, many expressions of generosity are not about money. People offer attention, encouragement, and patience many times a day. Sometimes we withhold when it would be so easy, actually, to listen quietly for another minute or to offer a word of appreciation or simply a look that says, “I’m with you.” Try being a little more generous for a day and see what happens.
