SUMMARY:Taking Refuge: What it means to be "Buddhist" with Geshe Tsultrim
DESCRIPTION:Have you been meditating\, attending classes or reading books on Buddhism? Are you interested in the philosophy presented by the Buddha? Buddhist philosophy can help many people in their daily life\, even if they don’t identify as “Buddhist”. But what does it mean to be Buddhist? Taking Refuge in the Buddha\, Dharma and Sangha is one of the ways to identify with being a buddhist. Join Geshe Tsultrim for this in depth series about what taking refuge means. \nThis class is perfect for anyone who is interested in taking refuge vows\, or just interested in Buddhism in general. \nThis class is open to the public and anyone is allowed to attend. If you would like to register (this helps us know how many to expect): https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac#focus=ev-smb9-20200602183000 \nCost: Suggested donation of $10-$20 to cover the cost of the class and support the teacher. No one turned away for lack of funds. You can give online: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or through Venmo: search “Diamond Light” \nFor more info: http://www.diamondlightsac.org \nGeshe Lobsang Tsultrim is part of the Gaden Shartse Monastery in south India. “Geshe” is a degree that is earned after several years of intensive study and passing the highest-level exams. It is the monastic equivalent of a western “Ph.D.” degree. Having successfully passed these exams\, Geshe Tsultrim is an expert on Buddhist philosophy. He is also a skilled artist\, specializing in traditional Tibetan art. Geshe Tsultrim has been teaching in the United States since 2001.

SUMMARY:Grounding and Connection with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Since PD (Physical Distancing)\, I find it nourishing to pause\, ground and connect with others online. The sense of dropping in with ourselves\, others and feeling our shared humanity can feel soothing and restorative. I would like to think we are engaging our Social Nervous System through these practices.http://www.boazfeldman.com/EN/Links_files/PORGES%20Polyvagal_Theory.pdf \nIn the first hour of this event\, I will be offering a 30 – 45 minute guided meditation for grounding and arriving in the present. I am in a Mindfulness Meditation teacher training program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I will be sharing primarily from that stream. We will have some time after the meditation to hear from each other.In the second hour of the event\, I will offer a 30-minute session on connecting with our feelings and needs based on Marshall Rosenberg’s NVC process. It is a chance to connect with our hearts to find what would really nourish us right now. \nWe will use these documents for the NVC exercise.https://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/feelings-inventoryhttps://www.cnvc.org/training/resource/needs-inventory \nI will be closing the Zoom room 5 minutes after the event starts to avoid disruptions to the group. Feel free to drop after the meditation. If something I offer does not work for you\, you are encouraged to adapt/modify it to fit what you need. Thank you for being a part of this experiment! \nIf you can make a donation ($5 – $20) with ease and joy\, please contribute to my favorite sangha – \nhttps://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ \nThey are a volunteer-run sangha with a big heart.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Difficult Emotions in the Midst of COVID-19...Or Any Other Time with Karuna Cayton
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host the author of the book “The Misleading Mind”\, Karuna Cayton\, for an interactive class April 28-May 19. We will delve into modern day psychological questions that have arisen as a result of the Coronavirus but still affect us throughout our life. We will look at how emotional and psychological problems arise\, what are their causes and how can we work with them. But we will approach these questions from a Buddhist psychological approach. Since Buddhism offers a complete psychology there should be an explanation of how to deal with our emotional struggles such as anxiety\, depression\, regret and so on. While this class is not designed to actually solve these problems we can hopefully get a glimpse of how we can approach them from an Buddhist psychological perspective. Questions and discussion welcomed! \nCost: Suggested Donation $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds. Donate online through our website: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or Venmo\, search “Diamond Light” \nTo join the virtual classroom\, click the link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\nMeeting ID: 224 735 8115 \nKaruna Cayton has been a practicing Buddhist for over 45 years. From 1975-1988 he lived at Kopan Monastery working fot the late Lama Thubten Yeshe.

His mission is to interpret the ancient teachings of Buddhist thought into modern language and interventions…without changing the purity of these universal ideas.
