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. Dharma talks\, discussion and Q&A. Instruction provided for beginners in meditation. \n \nAll registered participants will receive a link to join us via Zoom with their EventBrite confirmation email.  \n  \n \nMushim Patricia Ikeda is a socially-engaged Buddhist teacher\, community activist\, diversity\, equity and inclusion consultant\, parent and author based in Oakland\, California.

We follow the call from Palestinians\, Jews and people of conscience across the world who say “Ceasefire Now.” \nThis ceasefire sangha daylong will offer you support and belonging to continue your work for a meaningful and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Through mindfulness practice with the full range of our experience\, internally and externally\, as well as sharing from the heart and working with the body to contact grief\, anger and love with compassion\, we intend to strengthen our community’s response to Palestine.   \nIn the streets we hear the chant\, “We are not freeing Palestine\, Palestine is freeing us.”  We know that the work of liberation happens at the individual\, collective\, and societal level.
