Meditation Instruction - meditation is one of the most difficult skills to learn and master. Most practitioners spend most of their time day dreaming and are unable to control their wandering mind. Private meditation sessions can greatly help to deepen meditation through contagious influence. Just as a person who is happy and cheerful can cheer up those around them, a person in meditation can also influence those who are nearby. For more information on private or classroom instruction contact - Stephen W. Leslie at gofigure2006@verizon.net or call (443)745-4469. Stephen Leslie is the former director of the Himalayan Institute of Maryland and has 25 years experience in meditation. He was voted "best speaker in Howard County" in 1982 and 1984. He has been a meditation instructor since 1975. There is a nominal charge for the service. `9/1/05

Bethesda, MD. THE ELEUTHERIAN PAN-COMMUNION OF ADIDAM, MARYLAND is a gathering of devotees of the living Realizer, Adi Da Samraj (Da Free John), practicing ego-transcending devotion via self-understanding and in joyful relationship to Adi Da Samraj. We have a public temple, spiritual bookstore and gift shop located in downtown Bethesda, MD a five minute walk from the Bethesda Metro Station. It is located at 7215 Arlington Road suite 202 (near the Giant Grocery Store). We have numerous events happening at the store each month. Although we have many different events, you can always count on an introductory evening, a Basket of Tolerance Movie night, and ongoing Sacred Art and Music Performances. The introductory evenings on Adidam are based on the life and teaching of Adi Da Samraj. These events are a combination of video footage of Adi Da Samraj discussing an aspect of God-Realization, recitations from His Teaching Word, and a lively consideration about your feelings on the topic. We also have a monthly Basket of Tolerance Video. These are all movies that Adi Da Samraj recommends we watch to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the Great Spiritual tradition that we have inherited. These movies always open one's heart and mind. Lastly, you can be involved in our sacred arts occasions. These events usually consist of top quality musicians, dancers and poets. Visit http://www.adidam.org/bethesda/events.html and http://www.adidam.org/frederick-md/events.html to learn more about local events, Adi Da Samraj and this Way. ~9/05
