SUMMARY:Celebrating Buddha's Return from Heaven
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Offering to the Spiritual Guide practice to celebrate on the eve of Buddha’s Return from Heaven Day. Please email us for a zoom link. \n\nSeptember 22 marks the celebration of Buddha’s Return from Heaven Day. \nThe following explanation is an extract from a talk given by Geshe Kelsang on this day in 1991: \n‘On this day we celebrate Buddha’s return from the desire god realm called Land of the Thirty-three Heavens\, where he had been to visit his mother who had been reborn there. \nTraditionally this day also marks the end of the summer retreat. Every year\, during the summer months\, Buddha did a three-month retreat with his disciples. His reason for doing this was to avoid harming insects and other animals. \nIf we go out a lot during the summer months we will naturally kill more insects and other animals than at other times of the year. The nature of Buddhadharma is compassion – an unbiased compassion that is not just for human beings but for every living being\, including animals. \nIn fact\, we should have stronger compassion for animals than for human beings because animals suffer more. Human beings have better conditions and are more fortunate than animals. Because animals have so much suffering and no freedom\, out of compassion Buddhists should try not to kill or disturb them. So\, for three months during the summer\, Buddha advised his disciples to retreat\, staying always inside and living carefully and conscientiously. \nOne year during the annual summer retreat Buddha went to the Land of the Thirty-three Heavens. After his mother died she had taken rebirth in this god realm\, so-called because it has thirty-three different types of god. \nThe king of this realm is called Indra. The Indra who was king at that time was also Buddha’s disciple and he invited Buddha to go there. So Buddha went to benefit his mother and also\, at Indra’s request\, to benefit the other gods living there. He stayed three months\, and then returned on this day. \nThis day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example\, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied to become millions of light offerings. \nOn this day we should especially remember Buddha’s kindness.’ \n

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:Wednesday Evening Meditation Class via Zoom + In-person
DESCRIPTION:The Happiness Habit \nOur thoughts are paths that lead us places. If we habitually think about things that disturb our mind\, we should not be surprised that what we experience is anxiety\, anger\, depression\, and fear. On the other hand\, if we learn to recognize our bad habits of mind and stop following their paths\, we can transform our life. \nIn these meditation classes we will familiarize ourselves with good habits of mind – mental paths that lead us to the happiness we are looking for. \n  \nWE ARE TRANSITIONING TO IN-PERSON CLASSES ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS! \nWe can accommodate 8 people plus the Teacher under the current county-wide safety guidelines. Bring your own water bottle and mask. We have hand sanitizer by the door. Or… \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:Foundation Program via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:We are studying Joyful Path of Good Fortune\, living Buddhist Master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s extraordinary explanation of Lamrim meditation. Lamrim is a special presentation of all Buddha’s teachings in the order in which they can be practiced easily in our busy lives. Taken as personal advice\, we can contemplate each Lamrim 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 the systematic study that the Foundation Program offers we can deepen our understanding and insight of Buddha’s teachings and profoundly transform our lives\, reducing and eventually eliminating our personal experiences of difficulty\, problems\, and suffering. Consequently\, we can offer support to those around us and have a positive and meaningful impact on their lives as well. \nThis study program requires enrollment\, with a commitment to attend scheduled classes. Classes meet on most Tuesday and Friday nights. Please click here to see Fall 2020 schedule.\n \nPlease speak with our center Admin Director\, Teresa Kuntz\, or Resident Teacher\, Kadam Keli Vaughan for information on enrollment in the Foundation Program.
