SUMMARY:ONLINE: The Enduring Precepts: Basic Buddhist Ethics for Our Times
DESCRIPTION:An Online Class Series with Mushim Ikeda \nWednesdays May 4th\, 11th\, 18th\, and 25th 2022 \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) Closed Captioning Provided \nPart of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 6-month Curriculum \nTwo years ago\, people in the United States were hoarding toilet paper and steaks. Today we’re dealing with volatile ethical issues such as to vaccinate or not to vaccinate and to mask or not to mask? 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.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Finding Liberation in Relationship: Accountability\, Conflict\, Boundaries and Feedback
DESCRIPTION:An Online Class Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Dawn Haney and René Rivera \nMondays\, May 9th\, 16th\, 23rd\, and 30th \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) –  \nASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \nOur friendships\, partnerships\, work and family relationships can be a source of joy and support\, and also of struggle and suffering. How do we bring our practice to all the relationships in our lives\, to both ease our suffering and awaken our freedom? In this four week class we will explore concrete practices grounded in Buddhist meditation\, somatics\, and transformative justice. We will practice feedback\, boundaries\, and nervous system regulation\, while applying mindfulness to investigate our conditioned tendencies and positionality in power relations. Through turning towards the difficulty in our relationships we will build resource and resilience and create space to be our most authentic selves. \n\n\n\n\n \nAll registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.
