- The Four Remembrances (10-08-20)
Arinna 25:51: “Why contemplate anicca, anicca, and the vicissitudes of life? Because, in the acknowledgment that everything is changing, and that we can’t hold on […] When we allow nature to be be as it is — ourselves included — then that frees up ourselves from the constriction of ownership into a relationship of seeing ourselves and understanding ourselves as precious and sacred.”
Quotes from:
Marc Ian Barasch “Field Notes on the Compassionate Life”
“Reflections on Impermanence: Life of Chagkar. A Book of Teachings by the 18th Century Wandering Tibetan Yogi”

About Arinna Weisman
Arinna has been studying insight meditation since 1979 and teaching since 1989. Her root teacher is Ruth Denison, who was empowered to teach by meditation master U Ba Khin.
Arinna founded the Insight Meditation Center of Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts and, with Eric Kolvig, was the first to lead insight meditation retreats for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, gender-queer community.
She is co-author of the book A Beginners Guide to Insight Meditation and a contributor to Women Practicing Buddhism: American Experiences, edited by Peter Gregory and Susanne Mrozik.
Her practice and teachings are infused with her political and environmental activism. She leads "Uncovering the Heart" retreats which integrate the awareness of the social dynamics of inequity with the dharma practice of liberation.
