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.

In February 2018\, after seven years of classwork and study\, Pamela completed an eighteen course Gelugpa intensive.
