BRUNSWICK — Acharya Michael Greenleaf will present a talk at the Brunswick Shambhala Meditation Center on Sept. 26 and 27.

Greenleaf is an acharya, or senior teacher, will present a talk on Friday, Sept. 26, from 6: 30- 9 p. m., followed by a workshop on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m.

“Greenleaf will encourage participants to consider how the world is often defined by a sense of scarcity: Time and money are seen as one entity over which one has little control,” states a news release. “ Through the process of incorporating mindfulness, dialogue and contemplation, participants will consider the basic nature of ‘ wealth,’ ‘ power’ and ‘net worth.’ In the contemplative context, insights will be offered from a Buddhist and meditative view whereby power (or control) can be acknowledged and resources revealed.”

Acharya Greenleaf is a CPA and holds an MBA from New York University. A student of both Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and his heir, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Greenleaf has been given the title of Wealth and Generosity Acharya. In this capacity, he is responsible for inspiring generosity by promoting an understanding of the Shambhala path of generosity and fearless philanthropy. Greenleaf credits his dharma practice with helping him see the dream- like nature of financial information, according to the news release.
