SUMMARY:ONLINE:  Pandemic Precepts: Buddhist Ethics during Covid-19
DESCRIPTION:An Online Class Series with Mushim Ikeda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesdays April 28th\, May 5th\, 12th & 19th 2021 \n6:30 – 8:30PM PST (Time Zone Converter) \nASL Interpretation and Closed Captioning Provided \nPart of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 5 month Curriculum \nOne year ago\, people in the United States were hoarding toilet paper and steaks. Today we’re dealing with volatile ethical issues such as to mask or not to mask? – “Cut in line” to vaccinate or not? 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. \n \nRegistered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Honoring Our Asian American Buddhist Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:An Online Gathering with Rev. Duncan Williams  \nSaturday\, May 15th 2:00 – 4:00PM PST (Time Zone Converter) \nClosed Captioning Provided.  \nThe March 16th Atlanta shootings claimed the lives of eight people\, six of them women of Asian descent\, including 63-year-old Buddhist\, Yong Ae Yue. Yue’s tragic death follows upon months of unrelenting racist taunts and violence against Asian Americans\, including the senseless assault of 84-year-old Vicha Ratanapakdee in San Francisco. His daughter\, who herself had been accosted twice in the past year and told to go back to Asia because “Asians caused the coronavirus\,” described her father as a devout Thai Buddhist; his funeral was held at Wat Buddhanusorn in Fremont\, California. Our temples have also come under attack. Six Vietnamese American temples in Orange County\, California were vandalized in a single month; an outdoor Buddhist statue was spray-painted with the word “Jesus” at Huong Tich Temple. More recently\, the Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple in Los Angeles was damaged when windows were smashed\, lanterns broken\, and the building set on fire. \nRev. Duncan Williams will speak about the National Buddhist Memorial Ceremony for Asian American Ancestors scheduled on May 4\, 2021 – Forty-nine days after the Atlanta shootings. Forty-nine days after death marks an important transition for the bereaved in many Buddhist traditions. \n \nRegistered participants will receive a Zoom link with their EventBrite confirmation email.  \n  \n
