SUMMARY:Online: How Karma Works
DESCRIPTION:Karma: all of our actions and thoughts have inevitable results\, both positive and negative\, for better or for worse. Navigating our lives—and future rebirths—depends on understanding causality: how karma works. Understanding karma is crucial to reaching our goals\, both material and spiritual. In this six-week course\, we will examine what Buddhism teaches us about how our actions create karma and karmic results by looking at selections from Buddha’s teachings. The class will be live online\, with replays and handouts provided. \nTexts we’ll look at include “Kamma: A Study Guide” by Thanissaro Bhikkhu (an anthology of Gautama Buddha’s lectures)\, “Treasure House of Knowledge” (Sanskrit: “Abhidharmakosha Karika”) by Vasubandhu (circa 350 AD)\, and commentary from “Illumination of the Path to Freedom” written by the First Dalai Lama\, Gyalwa Gendun Drup (1391-1474). \nThe non-doing of what is unskillful\,\nthe performance of what’s skillful\,\nthe cleansing of one’s own mind:\nThis is the Buddhas’ teaching.\n-Dhammapada \nTuesdays June 29–August 10\, 2021\, 6:30pm–8pm Pacific time \nClick on the Zoom link to join: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nCost: Suggested donation of $10-$20 to cover the cost of the class and support the teacher.

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

SUMMARY:The Intrinsic Freedom of the Mind Itself with James Low
DESCRIPTION:Our mind is intrinsically clear\, but becomes cluttered by thoughts. Join James Low as gives an introduction to Dzogchen\, and discusses the difference between the mind and contents of the mind\, so we can practice directly experiencing the clarity of mind. Through this dharma talk\, we will gain an increased sense of how the mind is self-purifying through the self-liberation of whatever arises. \n10:30am-12:30am Saturday September 5th (California time)\nOnline through Zoom: Register to get the login info\nCost: suggested donation $10-$40 to support our teachers and cover the costs of the event.\nTo register: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac#focus=ev-svss-20200905103000 \nJames Low is a disciple and teacher in the Byangter and Khordong lineages of the late Chhimed Rigdzin Lama.\nHe began studying and practising Tibetan Buddhism in India in the 1960’s and received teachings from Kalu Rinpoche\, Chatral Rinpoche\, Kanjur Rinpoche and Dudjom Rinpoche. Having met his root teacher\, Chhimed Rigdzin Lama (also known as C R Lama)\, he lived in his home in West Bengal\, India for many years\, serving him as required and being taught many aspects of the tradition. During this period in India James did several retreats and pilgrimages in the Himalayas. In the 1970’s and 1980’s\, on his return to Europe\, he also had teachings and guidance from Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche.\nJames translated many tantric texts and sadhanas with CR Lama who wanted texts from his lineages\, Byangter and Khordong\, to be available in English. These are used as practice texts by CR Lama’s disciples and have been translated into various European languages.\nCR Lama asked James to teach in 1976 and later gave him the transmissions necessary to do this\, together with full lineage authority. In particular\, James was encouraged to give the traditional instructions using methods that enable people in the west to get the point. James has been teaching in this way for over twenty years.\nJames regularly teaches the principles of dzogchen in Europe and he publishes translations and commentaries from time to time.\nMany of his seminars have been recorded\, transcribed and made available on this website in the hope that they may be useful for those seeking to deepen their dharma understanding and to explore how to apply it in the complexities of everyday life.\nJames studied at Edinburgh and other universities and has retired from his work in London as a Consultant Psychotherapist in the National Health Service. He is slowly winding down his private psychotherapy practice. He has taught on many psychotherapy trainings in Britain.

SUMMARY:Overcoming Difficult Emotions in the Midst of COVID-19...Or Any Other Time with Karuna Cayton
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host the author of the book “The Misleading Mind”\, Karuna Cayton\, for an interactive class April 28-May 19. We will delve into modern day psychological questions that have arisen as a result of the Coronavirus but still affect us throughout our life. We will look at how emotional and psychological problems arise\, what are their causes and how can we work with them. But we will approach these questions from a Buddhist psychological approach. Since Buddhism offers a complete psychology there should be an explanation of how to deal with our emotional struggles such as anxiety\, depression\, regret and so on. While this class is not designed to actually solve these problems we can hopefully get a glimpse of how we can approach them from an Buddhist psychological perspective. Questions and discussion welcomed! \nCost: Suggested Donation $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds. Donate online through our website: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or Venmo\, search “Diamond Light” \nTo join the virtual classroom\, click the link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\nMeeting ID: 224 735 8115 \nKaruna Cayton has been a practicing Buddhist for over 45 years. From 1975-1988 he lived at Kopan Monastery working fot the late Lama Thubten Yeshe. Upon returning to the US he got his Masters in clinical psychology and has worked for over thirty years Karuna has worked as a psychotherapist (MFT31860)\, teacher\, business psychologist\, and coach to help people achieve a more balanced life. His mission is to interpret the ancient teachings of Buddhist thought into modern language and interventions…without changing the purity of these universal ideas.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness for Stressful Times with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Topic:  Mindfulness for Stressful times\nDate:  Saturday\, April 25th\nTime: 9:30 am – 5:00 pm  [lunch at 12 noon – 1:30 pm]\nDescription:\nAccording to meditation teacher\, Tara Brach\, we get lost in our thoughts and cut off from our hearts when we get lost in our trance of busily speeding through the day. In her book Radical Compassion\, Tara says – “Trance encloses us in a virtual reality of thoughts and emotionally charged stories. We are at the mercy of unconscious beliefs\, feelings\, and memories that drive our decisions and reactions to life. We feel separate or alone\, threatened\, and/or incomplete.”  Mindfulness is a path out of our trance into our natural presence. We find enough-ness in the simple things – soaking in the sun on our skin\, feeling connected with a loved one\, taking in the beauty of a tree or a flower\, enjoying a meal\, etc. We shift out of stress into the experience of rest and ease in our bodies. We are no longer in fight\, flight\, freeze\, fawn responses.   \nIn this daylong\, we will explore mindfulness practices that help us wake up to our everyday trance and move into our natural presence. We will bring our attention to our bodies\, emotions\, and thoughts. We will create a non-judgemental\, collective field that supports our individual process. The day will be a combination of instruction\, discussion\, practice\, and integration. Everyone is welcome. No prior experience necessary. \nat Diamond Light Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street\, Room 14 (upstairs)\nSacramento CA 95818\nADA accessible\, parking lot in back \nCost: $40-$60\, no one turned away for lack of funds\, email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com about scholarships \nTo register: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac#focus=ev-s2p8-20200425093000 \nAbout the instructor: Sunil Joseph has been a student of NVC since 2004.
