SUMMARY:ONLINE: Love and Rage Weekend Workshop
DESCRIPTION:with Lama Rod Owens  \nAs Audre Lorde has written\, there is so much data in our anger. One of the things that we can learn is how to let our anger show us where we have been hurt. We can let this great unveiling happen through the profound practice of radical love. When we embrace this deep wish to be happy\, then we can move into the cultivation of our anger\, which can place us into a direct relationship with our rage. \nWhile anger is a reaction in the present moment to something that we have an aversion towards\, rage is an intense experience that seems old and ever present. Cultivating our anger and rage through love means that we begin the work of holding space for ourselves to experience the anger and rage and the hurt beneath them. We are learning how to witness and experience not react over and over again. When we develop this agency\, then the energy of our anger and rage can be channeled into helping others instead of hurting others. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.  \n \n

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Path of the Bodhisattva I
DESCRIPTION:ASL Interpretation Provided  \nwith Mushim Ikeda \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 \n\nIn Mahayana Buddhism\, the Bodhisattva is an archetypal great being who tirelessly and joyfully works to liberate all beings from suffering. For the third 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 Dalai Lama. Those who do not wish to take the Bodhisattva vows may take either of the two class series. Meditation (instruction provided for beginners)\, Dharma talks\, and interactive exercises. \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom.  \n \nPlease read full class series schedule below: \n4 class series: Path of the Bodhisattva 1\, Weds\, Oct 7 – 28\, 6:30 – 8:30pm* PST \n4 class series: Path of the Bodhisattva 2\, Weds\, Nov 4 – 25\, 6:30 – 8:30pm* PST \nDaylong: Receiving or Witnessing the Bodhisattva Precepts & Vows\, Dec 5th 10am – 4:30pm* PST  \n  \n*There are three parts to the Path of the Bodhisattva curriculum.
