SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Meditation Class via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Let Go of the Past – The Art of Forgiving \nBuddha’s teachings on the pointlessness and pain of resentment and anger lead us to contemplations on patience\, karma\, and emptiness. This series of meditation classes examines these precious topics as a way to let the past go\, and to move into a more peaceful present. We will explore special ways of thinking that help us to let go of anger towards ourself and others\, and then meditate together on our new\, uplifted understanding. \n\n\nSign up here to receive an invitation to attend our online Zoom meditation classes \n\n  \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Drop in to any or all classes in this course. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Practicing Peace & Equality in Daily Life\n\n\n  \nWe have been looking to others to solve the conflict we see in our world\, but the solution is something we create inside our own mind. Although many countries and cultures have enshrined the ideas of peace and equality within their constitutions\, it is up to each individual person to PRACTICE peace and equality. Mahayana Buddhism presents the methods and instruction for developing these essential views\, in particular\, the practice of Kadam Lojong\, or Training the Mind. \nPlease join us for an ongoing practical examination of these special ways of viewing ourself and others. Through listening to\, contemplating\, and meditating on the meanings of these instructions\, we can transform our own mind into the love and respect that views all living beings as equally precious. Then in our own life\, we live the example of peace and equal kindness towards everyone. \n\n\n\nSign up here to receive an invitation to attend our online Zoom meditation classes \n\n  \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Drop in to any or all classes in this course. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone.

SUMMARY:Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat Online
DESCRIPTION:Retreat sessions will be on Saturday\, September 5 and Sunday\, September 6. The second session of the retreat on Saturday will be an introduction to the practices of Guru Yoga and Mandala Offering by our Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan. The retreat is open to everyone. Each retreat session is 90 minutes long including prayers. \nThe practice of Mandala Offering creates vast good fortune and is a method to attain the Pure Land of a Buddha. \nGiving with a mind of bodhichitta unmixed with attachment is the first of the Six Perfections. Buddha taught giving as the first of the Six Perfections so that living beings can generate good fortune\, or merit\, to sustain all necessary conditions for our spiritual practice. While meditation plants the seeds of realizations within our mind\, if our mind is devoid of merit\, or good karma\, we will be planting seeds in barren ground. Accumulating merit creates a rich and fertile mental environment within which our meditations will swiftly ripen and transform into realizations. \nThe blessings arising from the practice of Guru Yoga are rain that nurtures and sustains the seeds of our meditation. Guru Yoga is a special and powerful method that enables us to receive the blessings of all Buddhas\, Bodhisattvas\, and holy beings. Receiving this inspiration into our mind bestows inner peace and gives rise to realizations of renunciation\, universal compassion\, and wisdom realizing emptiness. \nSession 1 8:00-9:30am\nSession 2 10:30am-12:00pm  (Introduction to the practice on Saturday / Meditation for World Peace on Sunday)\nSession 3 2:00-3:30pm\nSession 4 4:00-5:30pm \nEach session is $5 or $20 for whole day. \nFree for Foundation Program students.

Although many countries and cultures have enshrined the ideas of peace and equality within their constitutions\, it is up to each individual person to PRACTICE peace and equality. Mahayana Buddhism presents the methods and instruction for developing these essential views\, in particular\, the practice of Kadam Lojong\, or Training the Mind. \nPlease join us for an ongoing practical examination of these special ways of viewing ourself and others. Through listening to\, contemplating\, and meditating on the meanings of these instructions\, we can transform our own mind into the love and respect that views all living beings as equally precious. Then in our own life\, we live the example of peace and equal kindness towards everyone. \n\n\n\nSign up here to receive an invitation to attend our online Zoom meditation classes \n\n  \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Drop in to any or all classes in this course. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Waking Up to the Clarity of the Mind\n\nOur world seems more chaotic than ever\, and our own body\, speech\, and mind are constantly in motion. In our Wednesday classes we will acknowledge the difficult and sometimes crazy appearances all around us\, then practice settling our mind and observing its clear\, pure nature. Simply observing the contrast between the tumultuous world and the lucid\, quiet mind that perceives it answers the question\, “Why meditate?” And dedicating our meditation for everyone’s happiness and freedom creates positive results.\n\n\n\n\nSign up here to receive an invitation to attend our online Zoom meditation classes \n\n  \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic.

SUMMARY:Powa Prayers
DESCRIPTION:Through practicing transference of consciousness — known as ‘powa’ — with faith\, compassion\, and concentration we can transfer the consciousness of those recently deceased to a higher rebirth or to the Pure Land of a Buddha. The Powa Ceremony can be done either by a group of practitioners or individually on behalf of one or more deceased persons\, or countless deceased beings. By engaging in this practice we also create a great collection of virtue\, which will also lead us into the pathway to a Buddha’s Pure Land. \nAll chanted prayers are free – please email us for a zoom invite.
