SUMMARY:Shadow Work with the 16 Guidelines with Craig Mackie - Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Shadow Work with the 16 Guidelines with Craig MackieShadow Work with the 16 Guidelines: Uncover\, Transform\, Heal:-\nJoin Craig for a special three-part immersive series designed to go deeper into transforming the shadow side of good quality.\n*Participants should be familiar with either the 16 Guidelines or Transformative Mindfulness Methods (TMM).\n March 17\, 24\, 31 (Mondays)\n⏰ 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM EST (Toronto\, Canada)\n Live on Zoom\nCourse Journey:\nSession 1: Preparing for transformative work\nconnecting with a healing space\ngrounding in compassion and wisdom\nacceptance of pain and the root causes of suffering.\nSession 2: Approaching and transforming our relationship to the shadow:\nwelcoming the negative aspects into a healing space\nencountering resistance\, introducing wisdom and compassion\nasking for help and letting go.\nSession 3: integrating and healing transformed the shadow:\nwelcoming and encountering resistance\,\napplying and integrating new insights and feeling\nnext steps and embodying transformed shadow.\nWhy this course?\nSo often in mindfulness practices\, for participants and facilitators alike\, deep discomfort and distress can arise. Having a toolkit to encounter stress\, paint\, trauma\, childhood wounds or resistance of any kind is essential.\nThis course will introduce participants to a framework and practices that will help them meet blockages to their highest embodied potential through transformative mindfulness.\nThe 16 Guidelines are an indigenous set of embodied virtues that originate from Tibet. In their modern iteration they comprise a framework that can be universally accessed through our own experiences and inner wisdom. Laid out in 4 wisdom themes of how we Think\, Act\, Related and Create Meaning\, each corresponding 4 guidelines can be used to meet challenges and transform suffering.\nWith each good quality also comes the potential for a shadow to arise – something that resembles the qualities but is not (semblance)\, a misuse of the quality (unskillful) that is tainted by unclear motivation or malicious intention\, and the opposite of the quality (contra). Each of these shadow aspects has the potential to be transformed through introspection and healed by introducing wisdom and compassion.\nTransformative Mindfulness Methods provides the perfect framework to dive into transforming a specific shadow that may arise.\nIn this workshop\, participants will be encouraged to pick a specific quality with which they wish to have a deeper relationship. Over three weeks they will participate in transformative work through visualization\, group discussion and didactic instruction.\nWho is this for?\nThis course is ideal for those familiar with either the 16 Guidelines or Transformative Mindfulness Methods and who want to:\n✔️ Work with inner blockages preventing their full potential\n✔️ Gain new tools for healing emotional distress and resistance\n✔️ Deepen their understanding of shadow work & transformation\n Pay What You Can (Suggested: $100 CAD)\n Receipts available for psychological services/social work\n Register: craig@essentialchange.net\nJoin Craig in this powerful and supportive space for deep transformation. ✨\nFacilitator:\nCraig Mackie –Craig is a registered 16G facilitator and trainer\, born in Ottawa\, he has a BA in Developmental Psychology/Philosophy from the University of Alberta\, an MA in Philosophy from the University of Ottawa and an MSW from the University of Toronto. He has worked in wilderness therapy and addiction treatment centers as well as schools and leadership programs for youth. He has also worked with Aboriginal men who have experienced homelessness in Toronto and multiple marginalized communities in Ottawa.\nOther projects he has played a key role in include Social Rec Connect and Christie Lake Kids.\nIn addition to his work in individual counseling and coaching in private practice\, he is the founder of Essential Change and teaches as an instructor for the Applied Mindfulness Meditation Certificate Program at the University of Toronto\, Continuing Education\, Faculty of Social Work.

SUMMARY:His Holiness Long Life ~ Mani Mantra Recitation Initiative - Yeshin Norbu
DESCRIPTION:His Holiness Long Life ~ Mani Mantra Recitation InitiativeTrusting this finds you all very well.\nYou are warmly invited to join the FPMT community in this very special His Holiness Long Life ~ Mani Mantra Recitation Initiative\, where students are invited to recite the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra. The total of all the recitations will be offered to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on the 6th of July for his 90th birthday.\nThe motivation of this initiative is to offer these mantras for His Holiness long\, healthy and stable life\, for the fulfillment of all His projects\, for world peace/universal compassion and to fulfill Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s wishes by offering our practices to His Holiness.\nThis initiative will be launched for Losar\, which this year falls on the 28th of February\, so you can start tracking your recitations from the 1st of March.\nTo join\, it’s very easy\, just write your name and at the end of each month write your total monthly mantra recitations in this spreadsheet\, this spreadsheet can be accessed from computers only\, not phones.\nPlease write the total of mantras you recite each month. For example if you recite one mala per day in March\, (if your mala has 108 beads) that would in total be 108 x 31 = 3 348\, then write 3 348 in the March column beside your name\, if you continue with your recitations\, do similar for the following months. You can join one\, two\, three or all four months. Make sure that by the 30th of July you have written down the total of your mantra recitations. Whatever you can is of great value!!!!\nThank you so very much!!!\nYeshin Norbu Team

SUMMARY:Meditación Paso a Paso: Sesiones semanales inspiradas en las 16 Actitudes - Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Meditación Paso a Paso: Sesiones semanales inspiradas en las 16 Actitudes*Please note these sessions are offered in Spanish\nSobre las Sesiones\nÚnete a Jessica Pastor en esta nueva serie de Meditaciones basadas en las 16 Actitudes\, un programa de ética y resiliencia para descubrir la calma y el bienestar interior. Esta serie está organizada por el Centro de Meditación Nagarjuna Alicante.\nEsta serie está estructurada en sesiones presenciales semanales de 1 hora todos los martes a las 7 pm hora local.\nSeiones abiertas a todas las personas interesadas. No es necesario tener conocimientos previos de budismo para participar y no es necesario inscribirse.\nEn estas sesiones de meditación practicaremos Samatha\, la técnica de calmar la mente de la agitación y preocupaciones que nos persiguen en nuestro día a día. De esta manera\, comenzaremos a poder disfrutar de los beneficios que nos aporta una mente serena y lúcida. \nAsimismo\, practicaremos Vipassana\, la técnica que entrena nuestra mente a no reaccionar de manera inmediata y ciega en las situaciones que experimentamos\, a no generar patrones mentales y hábitos que nos conducen a la repetición automática de conductas y\, en consecuencia\, al sufrimiento. Consiste en adiestrar la mente a experimentar la realidad tal como es\, a la comprensión clara de la verdadera realidad de la existencia de nosotros y de todas las cosas.\n¿Por que Meditar?\nMeditamos para investigar la energía mental básica con la que ya contamos\, que es la que determina si nuestras acciones son positivas\, y nos traerán felicidad\, o negativas\, y nos traerán sufrimiento.\nEsta meditación basada en las 16 Actitudes nos va a permitir controlar pequeñas cosas que antes no podíamos controlar\, que nos animarán a ir más allá y a darnos cuenta de que tenemos una capacidad y un potencial fantásticos.\nVas a poder crear ese espacio que necesitas para descubrir la calma y el bienestar\, simplemente con cambiar la motivación que hay detrás de cada acción que realizas.\nPara beneficiar a los demás y beneficiarte a ti no tienes que hacer nada físico\, solo tienes que dirigir tu mente en esa dirección.\nCómo participar\nEN PERSONA: en el centro Nagarjuna Alicante de 7:00 pm a 8:00 pm hora local. Para mas informacion\, por favor visita la página web del centro.\nEstas sesiones se ofrecen con aportación voluntaria. Si lo deseas\, puedes hacer una donación aqui.

SUMMARY:Introduction To Buddhism
DESCRIPTION:Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities to contact\, learn and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. We have gained an international reputation for our Introduction to Buddhism courses\, which are equally appropriate for beginners and those with some background knowledge. These courses are residential and usually 10 days long.\nTo study about Buddhist Philosophy is to study about yourself. During our courses\, experienced teachers explain Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and meditation from a modern perspective\, giving instruction in order to help you apply this ancient wisdom to increase peace\, happiness\, and compassion in your daily life. Topics include: \nThe Mind and Emotions\nKarma\nRebirth\nLove and Compassion\nThe Nature of Reality\nThe body of the course is composed of philosophy classes supported by meditation sessions\, all within a silent retreat environment. 10-day courses end with two days of intensive meditation to give you the chance to familiarize yourself with and gain insight into the topics that were covered in the teachings.\nAll teachings and meditation instructions are given in English.

SUMMARY:Events for April 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre
DESCRIPTION:Events for April 2025 – Jamyang London Buddhist Centre« All Events\nMedicine Buddha Puja\nApril 3 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm\nAbout Medicine Buddha Puja\nIn Person Only\nPujas are rituals in which consecrated offerings – such as food\, water\, light and incense – are made to an enlightened being for the sake of creating conditions for progress on the spiritual path\, as well as removing obstacles. These offerings are made alongside prayer and chanting.\nThe seven Medicine Buddhas\, attainers of bliss\, strongly prayed for the temporal and ultimate happiness of yourself and all sentient beings. They vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. As the buddhas’ holy speech is irrevocable\, you can wholly trust in their power to quickly grant blessings to help all sentient beings in these degenerate times\,” Lama Zopa Rinpoche instructs “If you pray to Guru Medicine Buddha\, you will quickly accomplish all that you wish. Just hearing the holy name of Guru Medicine Buddha and the sound of his mantra closes the door to rebirth in the suffering lower realms. It is written in the scriptures that you should not have a two-pointed mind (doubt) with regard to these benefits”.\nHow can I join?\nJust turn up!\nWe use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.

SUMMARY:Atelier avec vénérable Thubten Chodron (VIA ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:Atelier avec vénérable Thubten Chodron (VIA ZOOM)Du vendredi 04/04 à 19h au dimanche 6/04 à 18h (inclut la conférence du vendredi soir)\nLa colère est-elle destructrice ? Est-il bon de laisser éclater notre colère ? Que pouvons-nous faire lorsque nous sommes en colère ? Comment éviter la colère et cultiver la patience ? Comment accepter les critiques sans se mettre en colère ? Existe-t-il un antidote à la colère ?\nNe pas manifester ou exprimer de colère ne signifie pas ne pas en éprouver. En effet\, réprimer ou refouler la colère ne l’élimine pas\, cela ne fait que l’enfouir. Nous pouvons arborer un large sourire\, mais si\, dans notre cœur\, nous sommes en colère\, nous ne l’avons nullement résolue. Et ça\, ce n’est pas de la patience\, c’est de l’hypocrisie ! De surcroît\, garder en nous cette colère est douloureux et peut nous causer du tort.\nÊtre honnête avec nous-mêmes et prendre conscience que nous éprouvons de la colère est la première étape\, plutôt que de faire comme si elle n’existait pas. Reconnaître que nous sommes en colère est différent de l’exprimer verbalement et physiquement. Lorsque nous laissons la colère se manifester\, nous risquons de rendre les autres malheureux. De même\, nous défouler en frappant des oreillers ou nous isoler pour crier ne résout pas l’hostilité ou la frustration ; cela ne fait que dissiper temporairement l’énergie de la colère. De plus\, en faisant cela\, nous prenons l’habitude de crier ou de frapper des objets\, ce qui est contre-productif.\nLe bouddhisme propose des alternatives à ces extrêmes que sont la suppression de la colère ou son extériorisation. Il préconise de la dissiper\, afin qu’elle n’existe plus. Notre cœur sera alors libéré de toute hostilité et nos actions ne menaceront plus le bien-être des autres. L’esprit clair\, nous serons alors mieux en mesure de discuter avec les autres et de résoudre les situations difficiles.\nConférence :\nLes Etapes de la Voie à portée de nos mains en Occident.\nLe vendredi 04/04 de 19h à 21h\nVénérable Thubten Chödrön vient nous présenter la Bibliothèque de la Sagesse et de la Compassion élaborée avec Sa Sainteté le Dalaï Lama.\nComment ont-ils collaboré\, quelles passerelles ont-ils faites pour nous rendre le Lam Rim\, les Etapes de la Voie\, accessible aujourd’hui ?\nNB : cette conférence ne sera pas transmise via zoom mais accessible publiquement sur YouTube et Facebook\nA propos de l’intervenante :\nThubten Chodron\, née Cheryl Greene en 1950 à Los Angeles\, est une moniale et enseignante bouddhiste américaine dans la tradition tibétaine. Elle est devenue moniale en 1977 après avoir rencontré Lama Thubten Yeshe et a pris ses vœux monastiques en 1986. Elle est l’autrice de plusieurs ouvrages\, dont Buddhism for Beginners et Don’t Believe Everything You Think\, dans lesquels elle explique les enseignements bouddhistes de manière accessible.\nElle est également la fondatrice du monastère Sravasti Abbey dans l’État de Washington\, un centre bouddhiste pour femmes. Thubten Chodron enseigne la méditation\, la compassion\, et la sagesse bouddhistes\, et elle joue un rôle clé dans la diffusion du bouddhisme tibétain en Occident.
