SUMMARY:Vajrasattva Purification Retreat via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Welcome. \nPurification practice ensures that the mental environment within which we plant the seeds of meditation is pure and level — not like stony ground. \nAll Buddhas appear in the form of Buddha Vajrasattva to purify the minds of living beings.  For this reason the practice of meditation and recitation of Vajrasattva is superior to other purification practices. By relying upon Vajrasattva practice\, we become happier and and find it easier to experience ever purer states of mind such as love\, compassion\, and wisdom. \nThe main body of the practice is concentrating on removing the negative karma in our mind by applying the Four Powers: \n\nReliance on the Compassion\, Wisdom\, and Power of Enlightened Beings\nRegret for Engaging in Harm and Negativity\nThe Virtuous Opponent Force of the Mantra of Purification\nThe Promise to Refrain from Negative Habits of Body\, Speech\, and Mind\n\nAn introduction to the practice will be presented by our Resident teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan\, on Saturday\, December 26 at 9am. This will help both beginners and experienced meditators set a good intention for the retreat. \nEach meditation session lasts 90 minutes and includes some instruction on the practice\, as well as preparatory prayers and time for mantra recitation. Saturday and Sunday sessions will be guided. Monday sessions will be self-guided for those who are familiar with the practice. The final session each day will be the heart practice of Kadampa Buddhism – Heart Jewel Prayers. \nYou are welcome to join us for the entire retreat\, or to drop in for any session you have time for.  Any meditation retreat becomes more qualified and beneficial if sequential sessions are attended. \nJoin Zoom retreat:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88401540998\nMeeting ID: 884 0154 0998 \n  \nRetreat Schedule: \nSaturday (guided)\nSession 1 Introduction to Purification Practice 9:00-10:30am\nSession 2 11:00am-12:30pm\nSession 3 2:00-3:30pm\nSession 4 4:00-5:00pm Heart Jewel \nSunday (guided)\nSession 1  9:00-10:30am\nSession 2 11:00am-12:30pm\nSession 3 2:00-3:30pm\nSession 4 4:00-5:00pm Heart Jewel \nMonday (self-guided) \nSession 1  9:00-10:30am\nSession 2 11:00am-12:30pm\nSession 3 2:00-3:30pm\nSession 4 4:00-5:00pm Heart Jewel \n  \nFees: You can donate HERE.\n \n$5 for each session. \n$25 for whole retreat. \nFree for monthly members.

SUMMARY:Sacred Space Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nSuccess in study and meditation depends upon creating the right inner conditions\, specifically receiving inspiring blessings\, purifying negative karma\, and accumulating meritorious energy. \nWe achieve these through supporting practices such as relying upon a qualified Spiritual Guide\, making offerings\, and reciting prayers. In this afternoon workshop\, we will learn how to create a space in our own home or workspace for these practices. In particular we will learn about the practice of making offerings and how to set up a shrine. \nThis workshop will be led by our Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan\, and will include prayers and guided meditation to begin and conclude.

SUMMARY:LOMPOC Meditation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nBuddhist Meditation to Reduce our Reliance on Anger\n  \nIs anger ever justified?\nDoes anger defeat enemies or create them?\nAre you really in control when you are angry? \nBuddha taught that of all the delusions\, anger is the most harmful — yet so much of our modern society honors and even encourages it. \nIn this morning workshop we can be inspired to see for ourselves the deep extent to which anger controls our minds and our lives. Learn how anger is the source of so much of our suffering\, and how we can start using the practice of meditation to reduce our reliance on anger\, and eventually eradicate it from our minds altogether. \nPRE-REGISTER HERE: tickets  \nAt Blooming Energy \nBlooming Energy is Located at: \n103 West Walnut Ave \nLompoc\, CA 93436 \n
