SUMMARY:ONLINE: Path of the Bodhisattva 2
DESCRIPTION:An Online Class Series with Mushim Ikeda \nWednesdays\, November 3rd\, 10th\, 17th\, and 24th \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) –  \nASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \n\nThis is a continuation of the October Path of the Bodhisattva 1 class series. However\, newcomers are welcome to register. \n\nThis Buddhist curriculum at EBMC has three components: \n1. A four-class series: Path of the Bodhisattva 1 \nWednesdays in 2021\, Oct 6\, 13\, 20\, 27: 6:30 – 8:30pm PST \n2. A four-class series: Path of the Bodhisattva 2 \nWednesdays in 2021\, Nov 3\, 10\, 17\, 24: 6:30 – 8:30pm PST \n3. Daylong: Receiving or Witnessing the Bodhisattva Precepts & Vows \nSunday\, December 19\, 2021: 10am – 5:00pm Pacific time \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. Questions: email admin@eastbaymeditation.org \n\n\n\n\n\n \nAll registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

SUMMARY:Lama Rod Owens at East Bay Meditation Center
DESCRIPTION:East Bay Meditation Center warmly invites you to an evening with Lama Rod Owens!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 23rd \n5:00PM – 7:00PM PST (Time Zone Converter) –  \nASL Interpretation & Closed Captioning Provided \nGoing to the Edge: Exploring the Dharma of Grief in Times of Struggle \nWe are living through a period of apocalypse\, a chaotic period of truth telling and unveiling. Many of us are struggling to make sense of the impact we are experiencing in our personal lives\, relationships\, and in our communities. \nTo move through this period\, we must rely on our capacity to grieve\, to touch into the sadness of change and loss and tend to it with compassion. In this compassion we can allow our hearts to break and in the breaking be held by the understanding that we are not alone in this grieving. \nOnce we allow ourselves to be in relationship with our grief\, then it can begin to teach us how to move through sorrow and hopelessness into clarity and connectedness. Yet most importantly\, our relationship to grief through compassion opens up the space for joy and gratitude. In this talk\, Lama Rod will explore this liberating relationship with grief through guided practice and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n \nAll registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Path of the Bodhisattva 1
DESCRIPTION:An Online Class Series with Mushim Ikeda \nWednesdays\, October 6th\, 13th\, 20th\, and 27th \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) –  \nASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \nThis Buddhist curriculum at EBMC has three components: \n1. A four-class series: Path of the Bodhisattva 1 \nWednesdays in 2021\, Oct 6\, 13\, 20\, 27: 6:30 – 8:30pm PST \n2. A four-class series: Path of the Bodhisattva 2 \nWednesdays in 2021\, Nov 3\, 10\, 17\, 24: 6:30 – 8:30pm PST \n3. Daylong: Receiving or Witnessing the Bodhisattva Precepts & Vows \nSunday\, December 19\, 2021: 10am – 5:00pm Pacific time \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. Questions: email admin@eastbaymeditation.org \n\n\n\n\n\n \nAll registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.
