DESCRIPTION:with Jenn Biehn and Arisika Razak  \nClosed Captioning Provided.  \n\nBe like hollow bone….allowing and transforming .. all that passes through \nWhile the Buddha acknowledged the aging and impermanent nature of the body\, he also affirmed the body as a gateway for awakening.

We will explore how to cultivate equanimity in the face of illness and trauma and offer loving-kindness and compassion to our ever-changing\, imperfect bodies. All bodies and genders welcome. Please bring a personal object that represents your current or aspirational relationship with your body.

SUMMARY:ONLINE:  Pandemic Precepts: Buddhist Ethics during Covid-19
DESCRIPTION:An Online Class Series with Mushim Ikeda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesdays April 28th\, May 5th\, 12th & 19th 2021 \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) \nASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \nPart of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 5 month Curriculum \nOne year ago\, people in the United States were hoarding toilet paper and steaks. Today we’re dealing with volatile ethical issues such as to mask or not to mask? – “Cut in line” to vaccinate or not? Rooted in EBMC’s mindfulness-based\, diversity-equity-inclusion and social justice-centered mission\, this four-class series offers a path to reflect on current ethical discernment and action. Buddhist life\, for both laypersons and monastics\, is rooted in Five Precepts\, guidelines that are paths of deep contemplative investigation resulting in behaviors and actions aligned toward non-harm\, in the service of all life. The compassionate realization of our “interbeing\,” and the sometimes complex relationship of intent to impact are woven into this “Living Dharma” approach to the Precepts. \n \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.
