SUMMARY:Refuge and the Three Jewels
DESCRIPTION:The three jewels are the Buddha\, Dharma\, and Sangha. It is by making these the central principles of your life that you become a Buddhist. Join Geshe Tsultrim Tuesday nights 8/2\, 8/9 and 8/16 from 6:30-8:30pm to learn how to take refuge in the Three Jewels. During these classes there will be short mediations and Dharma talks delving into each of the Three Jewels\, and what it means to go for refuge.  \nThe Buddha jewel refers both to the historical Buddha and to the ideal of Buddhahood itself. Going for refuge to the Buddha jewel means seeing him as your ultimate teacher and spiritual example and committing yourself to ending the suffering of yourself and all beings.  \nThe Dharma jewel means the teachings of the Buddha\, or the truth he understood. The central teachings emphasize the development of mindfulness and kindness\, examining our actions in the light of our ethical values\, and seeing how our thoughts condition our lives. Regarding the Dharma as a refuge means seeing these teachings as the best guide to reality\, and committing yourself to practicing them.  \nThe third of the Three Jewels is the Sangha or the spiritual community\, and the people with whom we share our spiritual lives. We need the guidance of personal teachers\, who are further along the path than we are\, and the support and friendship of other practitioners. \nThree Tuesday Nights: August 2\, 9\, 16 from 6:30-8:30pm \nAt Diamond Light Meditation Center\, Sierra 2 Center\n2791 24th St\, room 14 (upstairs)\nSacramento CA 95818 \nNo experience required\, come as you are able\,drop ins encouraged!

SUMMARY:Green Tara Mandala Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Mandala means  “that which extracts the essence.” There are many different types of mandalas utilized in Tibetan Buddhism. The mandala represents the architectural layout of the entire palace of a specific deity. The Menla mandala\, for example\, represents the dwelling of the Medicine Buddha\, who embodies the perfection of the physical and mental health of all beings. There are mufti-layered symbolic images throughout the “palace\,” where iconography\, placement\, and color all have significance. Mandalas can be created in either two or three dimensions. In this workshop Geshe Tsultrim will instruct on the drawing and painting of a two-dimensional mandala.   \nDuring the first day\, Geshela will demonstrate the mathematical technique of drafting a Mandala and assist students in mapping and drafting of a simple mandala. On the second day\, if we have time Geshela will then review everyone’s draft\, offer a discussion on the use of color and demonstrate various techniques for the actual painting of the mandala. Everyone will have the opportunity to work directly with Geshela. Mandala paintings can take as many as 100 hours to complete. In view of this – this workshop is intended as an overview. Participants will not complete there Mandala during the workshop but will be supplied with information to support completion on their own time. \nWorkshop Registration:\n2-Day Mandala Workshop\nSaturday and Sunday 8/20-8/21 10:00am-4pm (with break for lunch)\n$95 for both days (preregistration required)\nat Diamond Light Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street\, Room 14 (upstairs)\nSacramento CA 95818 \nWhat to bring:\nCompass\n18” metal ruler (if you have one)\nGood drafting pencil and erasers\nAny mechanical drafting tools that may be helpful for measurement.
