SUMMARY:Foundation Program via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe are studying Universal Compassion\, living Buddhist Master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s commentary to the Lojong text Training the Mind in Seven Points by Geshe Chekhawa. Taken as personal advice\, we can contemplate each instruction\, allowing the meaning to guide us to very precise meditation objects which improve our ability to maintain a stable experience of peace in our own mind. \nThrough systematic study and meditation on this program we can deepen our understanding and insight of Buddha’s teachings\, gain confidence in our meditation practice\, and transform our lives by transforming our own mind. By learning to understand our own experiences of difficulty\, problems\, and suffering\, we will be better able to support to those around us\, and impact their lives in a more positive\, meaningful way. \nThis study program requires enrollment\, with a commitment to attend scheduled classes. Classes meet on most Tuesday nights and some Friday nights. Please click here to see Fall 2021 schedule. \nPlease speak with our center Admin Director\, Teresa Kuntz\, or Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan for information about enrollment. (805) 563-6000

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:  \nBuddhist Meditations for Everyone:\nThe Year of the Bodhisattva\n  \nWhat can I do about the problems of the world? How can I respond to the pain and suffering in my heart\, and that I see all around me? \nAt a time where the uncertainty and chaos of life can feel overwhelming\, the world needs people who are dedicated to spiritual development for the benefit of others\, motivated by a wish to reach their highest spiritual potential. In Buddhism\, these people are called Bodhisattvas. \nThese meditation classes will connect us with our own good heart by offering practical Buddhist advice that aligns us with our best possible version of our self – a Bodhisattva\, friend of all. \n  \n\nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and brief prayers\, and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle\, whether in person or online. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84060006948 \nMeeting ID: 840 6000 6948\n

SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:Gazing into the Mirror of Dharma: An Introduction to Contemplation and Meditation \n  \nBuddha Shakyamuni presented teachings on what minds to practice if we want to be happy\, and what minds to abandon to be free from suffering. These teachings are known as Dharma. \nIn these 75-minute classes we will learn to practice meditation in two parts: the first practice is contemplating practical advice on how to solve our daily problems of uncontrolled desire\, anger \, and ignorance. \nThe conclusions we arrive at will be our meditation objects. Holding these wisdom decisions with our concentration\, moment by moment\, will be the second practice. \n  \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and brief prayers\, and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle\, whether in person or online. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85226687739 \nMeeting ID: 852 2668 7739

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:  \nBuddhist Meditations for Everyone:\nThe Year of the Bodhisattva\n  \nWhat can I do about the problems of the world? How can I respond to the pain and suffering in my heart\, and that I see all around me? \nAt a time where the uncertainty and chaos of life can feel overwhelming\, the world needs people who are dedicated to spiritual development for the benefit of others\, motivated by a wish to reach their highest spiritual potential. In Buddhism\, these people are called Bodhisattvas. \nThese meditation classes will connect us with our own good heart by offering practical Buddhist advice that aligns us with our best possible version of our self – a Bodhisattva\, friend of all. \n  \n\nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and brief prayers\, and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle\, whether in person or online. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84060006948 \nMeeting ID: 840 6000 6948\n

SUMMARY:Thursday Evening Meditation Class
DESCRIPTION:Gazing into the Mirror of Dharma: An Introduction to Contemplation and Meditation \n  \nBuddha Shakyamuni presented teachings on what minds to practice if we want to be happy\, and what minds to abandon to be free from suffering. These teachings are known as Dharma. \nIn these 75-minute classes we will learn to practice meditation in two parts: the first practice is contemplating practical advice on how to solve our daily problems of uncontrolled desire\, anger \, and ignorance. \nThe conclusions we arrive at will be our meditation objects. Holding these wisdom decisions with our concentration\, moment by moment\, will be the second practice. \n  \nEach class begins with a guided breathing meditation and brief prayers\, and culminates with a second meditation based upon the evening’s topic. Perfect for beginners or those with meditation experience. Open to everyone. \nPlease arrive a few minutes early to settle\, whether in person or online. \n  \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85226687739 \nMeeting ID: 852 2668 7739
