Path of Realizations IV
Description:
Since higher realizations are built on more basic ones, how can we expect to experience the finer details of deity transformation if we haven’t succeeded in stabilizing the most basic realizations in our minds? Flashes of a realization come and go; they don’t stay with us for very long. How can we establish these powerful states of mind so deeply that they inform every single thing we do, waking and sleeping? The Path of Realizations looks at these questions through the material of the Lam Rim. We will visit the technical meaning of each of the steps of the path as defined by classical commentaries. Lama Trisangma and Peter Watson.

ACI Course 11: Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, Part 2
Description:
Level 4 of Middle-Way Philosophy (Madhyamika) taught by Will Duncan and Mira Shani
This course is the second in a three-part series based upon the Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life (Bodhisattvacharya Avatara) by Master Shantideva (700 AD) and upon the commentary Entry Point for Children of the Victorious Buddhas (Gyalse Juk-ngok) by Gyaltsab Je (1364-1432). Topics include: an explanation of the perfection of patience, the perfection of joyful effort, and the perfection of meditative concentration; the results of anger; how to make a habit of not getting angry; how joyous effort supports the other five perfections; obstacles to joyous effort; obstacles to meditation; how selfishness produces pain; reasons to treat others as well as yourself; the source of all the world’s pain; compassion as a prerequisite for successful meditative concentration; meditation as a prerequisite for wisdom; where you, your world, and all of your experiences come from; and Buddha nature.
Part 1 (ACI Course 10) is not a prerequisite, but certainly helpful.
Part 3 (ACI Course 12) will be offered later this year.

“Anatomy of a Conflict” & “Poking Holes” with Sheshadri Mantha
Anatomy of Conflict discusses how we tend to place other parties in a box and “conflictize” them, along with a discussion on common methods of dealing with conflict (that don’t work or are ineffective).
Poking Holes is a self exploratory, didactic exercise on poking holes through the box in which we’d placed the party we had a conflict with.
