Programming Committee Update

2020, the year of COVID 19, forced many of us to stop and take stock of our lives.

Those of us on the programing committee used this “pause” to look more deeply at Diamond Light Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Group’s offerings. In conversation, we reconfirmed that Diamond Light is offering the path to awakening as rooted in Gelugpa Tibetan Buddhism while welcoming the enrichment of teachings from all Buddhist traditions. Additionally, we embrace contemporary innovations on cultivating a peaceful and happy mind from the intersection of Buddhism and psychology.

Diamond Light has also emphasized from its inception the importance of taking our Bodhisattva practice off the meditation cushion and into the world. Core to Diamond Light is nourishing a close-knit supportive spiritual community (sangha). We put this work into practice by serving the extended community and engaging in group and individual awareness-based social activism.

We’re now turning our attention to developing a new curriculum of dharma teachings and Buddhist study. Diamond Light Spiritual Director Amie Diller and dharma teacher Mojo Tchudi are designing a series of events that will weave together all of the above into a comprehensive program. This will serve both beginners and advanced students as they enter the path, through the arc of their spiritual development.

If you’d like to offer input, please feel free to contact them through the Diamond Light website. And keep a lookout for updates on the project!
