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.

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.

SUMMARY:Online: Equanimity: Finding Our Balance in Difficult and Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:An Online Retreat with Arisika Razak  \nSaturday\, August 13th 2022 \n10AM – 4:30PM PT \nClosed captioning will be provided. \nJust as the Buddha sought a Middle Way between body-denying asceticism and total sensual indulgence\, many of us are searching for balance. In the face of rapidly escalating attacks on our bodies\, our communities\, and our civil and human rights\, we may find ourselves overwhelmed by anger\, fear\, anxiety and despair. \nThe Buddha taught that freedom is found when we dwell in the present moment and cultivate loving-kindness for all beings. But how can we do this in a world so saturated with greed\, hatred\, and delusion? \nThe practice of equanimity invites us to rest in our heart’s wisdom\, even in the midst of struggle and pain. It supports our bodies’ well-being\, and allows us to accept the world as it is – without being overwhelmed by the feelings that blow through us and without compromising our willingness to take transformative action to heal the world. \nIn this day-long retreat\, we will actively engage in practices that promote equanimity. We will use movement\, meditation\, small and large group sharing\, dharma teachings and writing to relax our bodies\, calm our minds and face our difficulties with renewed hope and acceptance. \nWe invite you to bring art supplies\, as well as something to write with.  \n \nA zoom link to join us will be included in your EventBrite confirmation.
