SUMMARY:ONLINE: Path of the Bodhisattva 2
DESCRIPTION:Path of the Bodhisattva 2 \nwith Mushim Ikeda \nWednesdays November 2nd\, 9th\, 16th\, and 23rd 2022 \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) \nClosed Captioning Provided \nThis Buddhist curriculum at EBMC has three components: \nPath of the Bodhisattva Class Series ONE:\nWednesdays\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm Pacific time\nwith Mushim Patricia Ikeda\, one of EBMC’s core teachers\nOctober 5\, 12\, 19 and 26 \nPath of the Bodhisattva Class Series TWO:\nWednesdays\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm Pacific time\nwith Mushim Patricia Ikeda\, one of EBMC’s core teachers\nNote: This is a deepening of the Class Series One materials\, not a repeat\nNovember 2\, 9\, 16\, 23 \nBodhisattva Vows and Precepts Ceremony\nSunday\, December 18\, 2022\n10 am – 4:30 pm Pacific time \nNote: You may participate as a witness/observer\, or apply to receive the Bodhisattva Vows and Precepts after participating in the preceding classes\n*Separate registration is needed for each part of the Path of the Bodhisattva class series (Part I\, Part II + Precepts Ceremony). Participants interested in receiving the Bodhisattva Vows in Dec are required to take Part I + II of the class series. \nI\, myself\, took the Bodhisattva Vows and made the vow\, “Life after life\, after life\, after life\, I will continue my practice and continue my work.” – Bhante Suhita Dharma\, Buddhist monk and social worker\, 1941-2013\nThese times are full of uncertainty and fear — and opportunities for spiritual breakthrough. In Mahayana Buddhism\, the Bodhisattva is an archetypal great being who tirelessly and joyfully works to liberate all beings from suffering. For the fourth time\, EBMC will offer two class series exploring what it means to creatively embody the Bodhisattva teachings. Those who complete both class series may participate in the final daylong and either witness or take Bodhisattva precepts and vows in order to strengthen their commitment to collective liberation. These are the same vows taken by His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.\nAlso\, those who do not wish to take the Bodhisattva vows may take either of the two class series. The final daylong is open to everyone who wishes to witness the joyful ceremony (you do not need to have taken any of the previous classes\, though it is recommended that you do so) and those who have completed the previous classes and have received permission from the teacher may receive the Bodhisattva Precepts\, take the Bodhisattva Vows\, and at that time they will receive a Buddhist name from the teacher. Meditation (instruction provided for beginners)\, Dharma talks\, and interactive exercises. \n \nAll registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email. \nOnline participation on Zoom is certain; we may be able to do simultaneous in-person participation if hybrid classes are able to be held at EBMC in the fall of 2022.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Multiracial Peer-Led Deep Refuge Group
DESCRIPTION:The Multiracial Deep Refuge Group is a monthly exploratory Deep Refuge Group for and by people who identify as multiracial. Our meetings include periods of mindfulness meditation and sharing of narratives and perspectives as we come together to be seen and to see one another. By sitting and exploring our own unique stories\, we can come to know and care for the common threads that bind us together. Our collective work bravely expands the narrative that informs multiracial experience today. Meets 7pm-9pm on the second Saturdays of every month. Online and occasionally hybrid (in-person at EBMC + online). \nNewcomers welcome- please contact us before your first visit: mrdrcoordinators at googlegroups dot com
