SUMMARY:Cancelled this Week: Sunday Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled this week! Will resume next Sunday! \nListen\, contemplate\, meditate\nLama Tsongkhapa describes the stages of studying Dharma:  first is hearing the teachings\, (or reading the texts and commentaries). The second is contemplation\, where the student reflects on what they have learned\, examines the felt meaning\, and how it relates to one’s own life.

Deepen your understanding of the Lam Rim topics by exploring the ideas presented\, and participating in discussion with your dharma friends. \nAll are welcome. \nThe discussion will be led by David Drabble\, a long-time meditator and Buddhist practitioner.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Buddhist Meditation with Marc Ross
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Buddhist Meditation\nTuesdays\, January 19 to February 23\n6:30pm-8:30pm PDT\nThe benefits of meditation are vast. It calms the mind and is the foundation for every spiritual realization. Meditating 5 minutes a day and more can change our brains\, our minds and our view of the world we live in.\nBuddhist meditation is part of a tradition of techniques that go back at least 5\,000 years. Like any other skill\, proper technique makes meditation easier\, more productive and saves you a lot of time. This class is perfect for those who are new to meditating and would like an introduction to the fundamental practices: posture\, types of meditation\, progressive stages of meditation and how to develop a meditation practice. Each class will have teaching\, discussions\, and practice. \nClass materials: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13UMpXdecyTVanhtJkzfASZARQaG0fP0h?usp=sharing \nMarc Bio:\nI was born in 1955 and raised as a Roman Catholic. For most of my young adult life did not follow a spiritual path. I fell in love with yoga in the early 1990’s and was certified as a yoga instructor in the Iyengar tradition. Through yoga I found Buddhism\, and had a deep attraction to the lineages of Tibetan Buddhism. I have been a practicing Buddhist since that time. My root teacher is Alan Wallace\, who I have had an easy\, natural connection with since meeting him in 2013. I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach meditation both in the US and in Europe.\nProfessionally I have practiced as a chiropractor and body worker for over 40 years\, and am blessed with work that is a spiritual path. \nOnline ; Donation-based\nZoom Meeting ID: 224-735-8115\nhttps://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\nSuggested donation: $10-:$20 to cover expenses\, which include ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services and supporting our teachers\nNo one turned away due to lack of funds.\nTo donate: www.diamondlightsac.org/donate or search “Diamond Light” on Venmo or Paypal
