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:Exploring the Path to Awakening: Meditation and the Lam Rim with Amie Diller and Heather Breault
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Path to Awakening: Meditation and the Lam Rim\nwith Amie Diller and Heather Breault\nTuesdays\, December 29\, 2020 and January 5\, 2020 \nHave you been curious about Buddhist practice\, but don’t know where to begin? Have you attended Buddhist teachings\, but don’t know how to meditate on the subjects you’ve studied? In an age where people look outward for direction and inspiration\, the Buddhist path of Lam Rim Meditations provides time-honored template for looking inward and going deep for the answers we seek.\nThis class will be based on the “Stages of the Path” (lamrim) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and teach you the fundamentals of Buddhist meditation\, and give you the tools you need both to begin a daily meditation practice and to deal with problems and difficulties once you have started to meditate. \nBeginners are welcome and encouraged\, as well as more advanced students wanting to review the “steps on the path” in an experiential format. \nAmie Diller is a Buddhist teacher in both the Tibetan and Zen traditions. A mother and midwife\, she has also had a longtime interest in Jungian Psychology and the mythic perspective. \nHeather Breault started practicing yoga in 2001\, which lead her to find Buddhism\, with her first class taught by Lama Marut in 2008. She has studied with many amazing teachers over the years\, her closest teacher being Amie Diller. \nTuesdays\, December 29\, 2020 and Tuesday\, January 5\, 2020.\n6:30pm-8:30pm PDT\nOnline ; Donation-based\nZoom Meeting ID: 224-735-8115\nhttps://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nwww.diamondlightsac.org/donate or “Diamond Light” on Venmo\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.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness for Dark Times with Sunil Joseph
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays September 22-October 13 6:30pm-8:30pm \nWe are entering winter with multiple challenges at play including a pandemic\, isolation\, fatigue\, loss of loved ones\, work\, political uncertainty\, social justice reckoning\, seasonal affective disorder\, etc. How do we hold our hearts with care as we travel through this winter? How do we find connection and belonging when we need to be physically distant? In this course\, we will use Mindfulness practices to ground and nourish ourselves. We will create a space of respectful listening wherein each of our hearts can show up exactly as they are. \nEach event will be a combination of a guided meditation to deepen our presence and mindful listening to connect with each other. In the words of Rachel Naomi Remen – “The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention..A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” \nThis event is offered for free. Many of us are going through financial difficulties right now. Any donation you can make without hardship ($10-$20 ) will help us cover ongoing rent for our Center\, fees to provide online services\, and supporting our teachers. Thank you.\nwww.diamondlightsac.org/donate\n–OR–\nVenmo “Diamond Light”\n–OR–\nwww.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=NMYP6MK36UBCS \nClick on the Zoom link to join: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115 \nAbout Sunil Joseph: Sunil has been a student of Compassionate Communication since 2004.
