If you want to be happy\, practice compassion.” — His Holiness the Dalai Lama \nThere is solid\, fascinating and ever-growing evidence based research showing that compassion & connectedness are good for us on many levels: psychologically\, emotionally\, and physically as well as spiritually. We’ll be working with Tibetan Buddhist compassion meditation of Tonglen and modern nonviolent communication methods to integrate compassion\, connection\, and meaning into our relationship with ourselves and the world. \nat Diamond Light Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street Room 14 (upstairs)\, Sacramento CA 95818\nparking lot in back\, ADA accessible \nsuggested donation: $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds \nAmie Diller\, certified CEB teacher\, stumbled on Tassajara Zen Mountain Center at age 18\, dropped out of college\, and embarked on a life-long passion for the study and practice of Buddhism. For the last 15 years Amie has been practicing & teaching internationally in the Tibetan Gelupa Buddhist tradition. Being a certified nurse-midwife and mother have also brought great joy\, along with fertile ground for practicing in the world with a wise and compassionate heart. \nAbout Sunil: I started studying Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in 2004. NVC has had a transformational effect on my professional and personal life. I am continually amazed at the power and simplicity of this way of living life. While I am not a certified NVC trainer\, I am happy when the fruits of my personal practice can benefit others. I consider myself a lifelong NVC learner and explorer.

SUMMARY:Becoming a Spiritual Warrior
DESCRIPTION:10 Wednesdays January 10 – March 14\, 6:30pm-8:30pm \nTo truly help others\, we must understand the actions that help us\, and the actions that hurt us.

Using the commentary called the Highway for Bodhisattvas by Je Tsongkapa\, we will learn what bodhichitta (the wish to reach enlightenment to help all beings) is\, what the bodhisattva vows are and how they are taken\, how to keep or break them\, and the benefits of becoming a Bodhisattva.  \nEach class will have a dharma teachings\, discussion and meditations. There are optional readings\, homework and quizzes for deeper study and understanding.  \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 \nwww.diamondlightsac.org \nHeather started practicing yoga in 2001 and finished her teacher training in 2008.
