The Perfections of Patience and Joyful Effort Workshop
June 28-29, (Friday, 7-9 PM; Saturday, 10 AM-4:45 PM)
Patience in the face of adversity and joyful effort toward what benefits ourselves and others are key qualities in a healthy life attuned to spiritual values. In this workshop, we discover how mindfulness and meditation nurture and perfect patience and joyful engagement with what is positive.
Cost: $95. Instructors: Sylvia Gretchen and Barr Rosenberg. Friday, 7-9 PM; Saturday, 10 AM-4:45 PM. Based on Shantideva’s “Bodhicharyavatara.” Prerequisite: sincere interest in the Buddha’s teachings.
June 24-29: Mindfulness and Faith Retreat
“Like an advanced guard, faith goes before us, encouraging us to enter an ever broader realm of experience and knowledge. Through such experience and insights, we learn to trust the teachings of the Dharma and become more willing to pass beyond the boundaries enforced by doubts, fears, and emotionality.” Ways of Enlightenment.
Faith, the focus of our heart, can guide and deepen mindfulness practice. In this retreat, faith is cultivated through contemplating the immeasurable aspirations of the Buddhas to benefit living beings. Mindfulness, wakeful awareness that observes immediate experience, is developed through sustained walking and sitting meditation. Confident and joyful, the combined power of mindfulness and faith energize our steps on the path to awakening.
Cost: $390 (nonresidential); $650 (residential). Instructors: Sylvia Gretchen, Olivia Hurd, and the meditation faculty. Prerequisite: Sincere interest in the Buddha’s teachings.
