SUMMARY:Queer Sangha Group
DESCRIPTION:This queer-focused\, queer-led group is for LGBTQI+ practitioners and those seeking fellowship with queer sangha. We will gather for practice\, conversation\, and community rooted in dharma\, belonging\, and queer lived experience. \nThis is a space for the questions\, humor\, complexity\, history\, resilience\, and joy that queer people may bring to the path.

SUMMARY:Lojong Lojong Practice and Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Sitting Meditation opens our minds in a way most of us have never experienced before. When we meditate\, we become keenly aware of our thoughts\, feelings\, and emotions\, and see how they influence our moment-to-moment experience of our lives. \nBut sometimes we feel overwhelmed by our thoughts and feelings\, leaving us with the impression that our thoughts and feelings are “out of control” and beyond our ability to engage and work with them. \nWouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a technique to help us work with our thoughts and see them in perspective? \nMore than 2500 years ago\, the Buddha Shakyamuni said that love and compassion were “the way” – the way to work with emotions\, feelings and even thoughts themselves. \nThis new monthly Sunday session will focus on Lojong – a Tibetan word meaning “Mind Training\,” – that teaches us how to meditate on love and compassion and begin changing our minds from within – from the heart. \nWe will meet monthly on Second Sundays after the regular Sunday Dharma Talk to learn about compassion meditation and practice it together. \nSpecial Lojong prayers and meditation periods will be interspersed with advice about how to use the principles of love and compassion in everyday life. \nYou can join the class at any time; we hope to develop a small community of practitioners dedicated to living out the principles of Lojong in their daily lives and supporting each other in their practice.

SUMMARY:Lojong Lojong Practice and Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Sitting Meditation opens our minds in a way most of us have never experienced before. When we meditate\, we become keenly aware of our thoughts\, feelings\, and emotions\, and see how they influence our moment-to-moment experience of our lives. \nBut sometimes we feel overwhelmed by our thoughts and feelings\, leaving us with the impression that our thoughts and feelings are “out of control” and beyond our ability to engage and work with them. \nWouldn’t it be wonderful if we could find a technique to help us work with our thoughts and see them in perspective? \nMore than 2500 years ago\, the Buddha Shakyamuni said that love and compassion were “the way” – the way to work with emotions\, feelings and even thoughts themselves. \nThis new monthly Sunday session will focus on Lojong – a Tibetan word meaning “Mind Training\,” – that teaches us how to meditate on love and compassion and begin changing our minds from within – from the heart. \nWe will meet monthly on Second Sundays after the regular Sunday Dharma Talk to learn about compassion meditation and practice it together. \nSpecial Lojong prayers and meditation periods will be interspersed with advice about how to use the principles of love and compassion in everyday life. \nYou can join the class at any time; we hope to develop a small community of practitioners dedicated to living out the principles of Lojong in their daily lives and supporting each other in their practice.
