On this eight-week course, Bodhipaksa will introduce specific ways of dealing with negative emotions such as ill will, anxiety, and self-doubt, and will teach techniques for cultivating positive states of calm, joy, and concentration.

* Series 2 - Death and DyingSeries 2 - Death and Dying

Time: 9:00 am

HOW TO BENEFIT THOSE WHO ARE DYING AND THOSE WHO HAVE DIED - Death can be so hidden in our culture that we have few models for supporting someone in the dying process and for processing our own grief. This workshop will help participants learn how to support someone facing a life threatening or terminal illness, and how to help ourselves when we are grieving. (This class is a repeat of the Mar. 17 workshop.)

* Buddha Day CelebrationBuddha Day Celebration

Time: 10:00 am

Come celebrate with us the historical and spiritually magnificent day of the Buddha’s Enlightenment. Together we will create ~ through shared readings, short talks, silent reflections, and written experiential exercise ~ a very intimate experience of the Buddha. We will more than celebrate the Buddha, but actually move forward into a deeper understanding and relationship with him and the vibrant experience of his Enlightenment.

Time: 7:00 pm

On these six Wednesday evenings we will learn traditional Buddhist meditations and also explore basic Buddhist teachings. Meditations taught will include the Mindfulness of Breathing, development of loving-kindness (Metta Bhavana) and walking meditation. These forms have been found to be supportive and helpful to most everyone by helping us to focus, to become more at ease, to know our own minds more fully. Buddhist teachings shared will include the five ethical precepts, the principle of conditionality or interconnectedness, and the Four Noble Truths. The course emphasizes how the Buddhist tradition applies to our lives and the world as we know it now.
