Ruth Ozeki: An Introduction to Buddhism Resources


We were so honored to have Ruth Ozeki with us on Friday, October 16th for a guided meditation followed by an interactive discussion about meditation and Buddhism.

Ruth is a novelist, filmmaker, and Zen Buddhist Priest who wrote "A Tale for the Time Being", which was our campus-wide first-year read.

Here are some resources if you are interested in learning more about Buddhism or Meditation:

Headspace App
Free Trial which gives you access to 10 ten minute meditation exercises

Spiritual Reflection Room
Located in Bay Path's Hatch Library and opened all times the library is open.
This is a reserved space on campus for spiritual reflection, prayer, and other exercises which require a private and quiet space.

Guided Mindfulness and Meditation Practice

Join us in this weekly drop in meditation practice that is guided by our meditation professor, Leslie Smith Frank.
