SUMMARY:The Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma with Pamela Rasada
DESCRIPTION:The Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma – Why They Are Each Essential to All of Us \nBuddhist often refer to the Three Turnings of the Wheel when discussing the teachings of the Buddha. What does this really mean? What are the three turnings? During this three week lecture/discussion\, Pamela Rasada will lead participants through an exploration of the three turnings using an article by professor Jay L. Garfield as the foundation of the discussion. In his 2011 article\, “The Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma – Why They are Each  Essential to All of Us”\, Garfield describes the misconceptions often held about the three turnings and details the intrinsic value of the teachings within each turn.  \nUsing the article as a guide\, participants will explore and discuss each turning\, identify the contradictions emerging within each turn\, and seek to understand how to resolve them and re-frame them as complementary rather than competitive.  Each weekly class will focus on one turning of the wheel through meditation\, a brief lecture clarifying the topic\, and an open discussion/Q&A. Weeks two and three will include a brief review of the material presented in the previous weeks. All are welcome to join in the discussion.  \nWhat is the speech of the Buddha?\n“The speech of the Buddha is anything spoken directly by the Buddha\, anything inspired directly by the Buddha\, anything spoken in the presence of the Buddha and approved of by the Buddha\, or anything that is fully consistent with the intent of the Buddha.” ~Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras \n3 Tuesdays April 23-May 7;  6:30pm-8:30pm \nAt Diamond Light Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street\, Room 14 (upstairs)\nSacramento CA 95818\nparking lot in back\, ADA accessible \nwww.diamondlightsac.org \nSuggested donation: $10-$20 per class\, No one turned away for lack of funds. Pay online: http://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/\, or check/cash at the door. \nPamela Rasada is a student of the lineage of His Holiness the Dalai Lama\, in the Tibetan Gelugpa tradition\, in June of 2011. Through her primary teacher\, Amie Diller\, Pamela has had the opportunity to meet and study with many experienced and practiced teachers. In February 2018\, after seven years of classwork and study\, Pamela completed an eighteen course Gelugpa intensive. Pamela continues to explore additional opportunities to learn and is grateful for any opportunity to share what she has learned with others. \nPamela graduated from Sonoma State University with majors in Nursing and Philosophy and minors in Women’s Health\, Music\, Biomedical Ethics\, and Logic. Upon graduation she was accepted into the Jesse Marvin Unruh Assembly Fellowship Program. She continues to work in public service\, loves reading year-round and enjoys paddle boarding with her companion Chuck-the-Wonder-Dog in the warmer Sacramento months.

SUMMARY:Go Deep and Get Happy: Patience\, Joy and Meditation with Heather Breault
DESCRIPTION:This Course is the second in a three part series based upon A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life by Master Shantideva\, and the commentary Entry Point for Children of the Victorious Buddhas by Gyaltsab Je. Suffering is all around us\, and it can be overwhelming to know what to do or how to help. Master Shantideva wrote a detailed guide on how to live as a Bodhisattva\, or spiritual warrior who works to reach enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. \nTopics include: an explanation of the perfection of patience\, the perfection of joyful effort\, and the perfection of meditative concentration; the results of anger; how to make a habit of not getting angry; obstacles to joyous effort; obstacles to meditation; compassion as a prerequisite for successful meditative concentration; where you\, your world\, and all of your experiences come from; and Buddha nature.  \n10 Wednesdays April 24-June 26\, 6:30pm-8:30pm\nat Diamond Light Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street\, Room 14 (upstairs)\, Sacramento CA 95818\nparking lot in back\, ADA accessible \ncost: suggested donation $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds\ncash\, check or online donation: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ \nwww.diamondlightsac.org \n \nHeather started practicing yoga in 2001 and finished her teacher training in 2008.
