Generally, there is a larger and a smaller group, but in each, the emphasis is on "thinking together" in such a way that our common consciousness can be uncovered, exposed, and understood.
Discovered as a boy by the Theosophical Society, Krishnamurti was groomed to be the new World Teacher, a role he repudiated in 1929 when he declared that "truth is a pathless land" and that his sole mission was "to set men . . . unconditionally free." For the rest of his life, he traveled the world exploring the issues of our common humanity with large audiences and invited participants. He had a special interest in education and founded schools in India, England, and California. Krishnamurti died in Ojai in 1986.Sunday, September 21, 3:00 pm

Forget what you've heard about the devil and come hear Lucifer's real story, one of devoted service to the world followed by doubt, dissent and rebellion in the spirit of service.

Beginning in April 2008and continuing through May and June, Roger Weir embarked on a 13 week Saturday morning lecture series called "Hermetic America," a complete and new recalibration of the Hermetic tradition drawing on long research and "The Yoga of Civilization" educational cycle. The inquiry continues with a second series of 13 lectures, "Hermetic America Future", starting on July 5. This culminating series presents the harvest of 300 years of Hermetic America scouting as point-guard of our Future and the New Past (a recalibration by Vision and History).

Bodhi News Part 7: ECKHART TOLLE, OPRAH & THE BODHI TREE
Eckhart Tolle and Oprah conducted a discussion and study group on Tolle's book "A New Earth" for 10 weeks, ending on May 5, 2008. It was an interactive webcast on Monday nights with study groups located around the world.On Monday April 14, 21, 28, and May 5, the Bodhi Tree Bookstore hosted one of the world-wide study groups. It was a pre-selected group not open to the general public. Eckhart Tolle and Oprah discussed the last four chapters of "A New Earth" and questions were taken via webcast from various study groups throughout the world. Chapter 7 was discussed April 14, Chapter 8 April 21, Chapter 9 April 28, and Chapter 10 May 5, 2008. Archived discussions can be downloaded on Oprah.com or through iTunes.
Eckhart Tolle and Oprah's web teaching reached an extensive world-wide audience. This was a new way of teaching going beyond the traditional teaching of spirituality through books, on a one-to-one, teacher to student basis, or in relatively small, private settings. Oprah said that this program was the best thing she ever did. Learning about how consciousness works in the here and now and large number of people integrating the stillness of being into their lives could be the catalyst of change so needed by our inter-connected, world wide societies.
Eckhart Tolle visited the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in November 1999 to introduce and discuss his book "The Power of Now". The book has become a national best seller. The talk was recorded and transcribed. An edited version can be found on the Bodhi Tree web site by clicking on "Lecture Transcripts".

WHERE TO PARK NEAR THE BODHI TREE BOOKSTORE Dear Friends of the Bodhi Tree, One of the most common problems of life in Los Angeles is finding a parking space. Here's a guide that we hope will make it easier for you to park and help you avoid getting a parking ticket when visiting the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Hollywood. A variety of parking is available: metered spaces, some spaces at particular times in the permit parking areas, Valet parking, parking structures and spaces in front of the Used Book Branch. All this is explained in detail in the "Parking" section on the Bodhi Tree web site in the "Events" section. Valet Parking: The City of West Hollywood, the Urth Caffé, the Bodhi Tree Bookstore and other local merchants have a community Valet Parking program. The pick-up area is in front of the Bodhi Tree Annex building at 8583 Melrose Avenue. The cost is $5.00 and it is in operation from 10:30 am until 11:00 pm. Consider using Valet Parking the next time you want to visit not only the Bodhi Tree Bookstore but also Dr T's across the street to get some Chinese herbs, followed by a visit to Soolip for some beautiful paper. Before heading home, you can relax with a wonderful "caffé" and good cuisine at Urth or Le Pain Quotidien. Through Valet Parking, you may "forget" about your car for a long time. How to park for free: The Bodhi Tree Bookstore offers a "help you park" program. We will reimburse or credit the basic Valet fee ($5.00) for a minimum purchase of $15.00. WHERE YOU CAN NEVER PARK The side streets north of Melrose: No parking is allowed at any time in the area north of Melrose (towards Santa Monica Blvd.), except at a parking meter space. The side streets south of Melrose-east side: The area south of Melrose is a different permit area with different rules. There is no parking at any time on the east side of the street. Parking is allowed at times on the west side of the street.Please don't be discouraged-there's usually enough parking available most of the time in the areas listed above.
