Friends, we are delighted to announce that our next 7-month deep dive dharma program opens soon for registration. Living the Dharma in Community (LDC) supports participants to deepen their formal practice and to integrate the dharma into their daily life through study, reflection, and community practice.
Our theme this year will be The Beautiful Qualities of Heart and Mind..
What gives life meaning and direction? What supports freedom – for ourselves and for others?
In the Buddhist tradition, many of the qualities that lead to freedom are known as the paramis (ten qualities of heart and mind) and the brahma viharas (the four sublime states). These qualities – such as generosity, patience, truthfulness, and loving-kindness – can be cultivated in everyday life and gradually woven into how we live, relate, and respond to the world. They can become a home we abide in, in the heart, and offer concrete, daily, and overarching meaning and purpose in our lives.
This year, we will explore these beautiful qualities together – reflecting on them, practicing with them, and supporting one another in bringing them into daily life. Each quality can become a doorway to greater ease, clarity, purpose in life, and freedom in heart and mind.
See our website for full details.
