Nectar of the Path (NOP)
NOP is a scripted meditation practice written by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Though it is a Buddhist practice (based on the fundamental Buddhist concepts of Refuge, Bodhicitta, and relationship to the teacher) it is not necessary to be a Buddhist to practice it. This practice is open to all.

Joy of Living (JOL)
JOL is a three-stage path of meditation training. Though rooted in the spiritual tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, the meditation practices that are taught in the Joy of Living meditation program work with basic functions of the heart and mind, such as mindful awareness, loving-kindness, compassion and wisdom. These teachings can be practiced by people of all faiths and belief systems.

It is not necessary to practice NOP if you are primarily interested in attending JOL. If you would like to attend only JOL, feel free to join the meeting during the 5-minute break between the two programs.
