SUMMARY:Exchanging Oneself with Others: Workshop on Compassion Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Visualization exercises where we practice exchanging ourselves with others come from the Lojong or Mind Training tradition and help us develop compassion as we imagine what it might be like to be in someone else’s shoes. To quote Shantideva\,  \n        Strive at first to meditate/Upon the sameness of yourself and others.\n        In joy and sorrow all are equal./Thus be guardian of all\, as of yourself. \nIn this workshop\, Lama Nancy will lead guided meditations to help develop our sense of equality with everyone and the desire to free them from pain\, just as we long to free ourselves.

SUMMARY:Guru Rinpoche Puja with Tsok Offering
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our first traditional Tibetan ritual chanting practice or “Sadhana” at Karuna Buddhist Center. This is the feast (tsok) offering of Guru Rinpoche as compiled by the late Bardor Tulku Rinpoche (1949-2021)\, well-loved teacher of many of us. Through the practice of tsok offering\, we swiftly accumulate merit and wisdom\, and purify our obscurations\, which is the essence of the path to buddhahood.

SUMMARY:Songs of Realization
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we sing and contemplate songs of the masters together. Buddhist teachings and spiritual experiences are often communicated through songs\, such as those famously sung by the great Tibetan yogi\, Milarepa. Following the teachings of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche\, we will sing in English\, without judgment of “good” and “bad” as we try to move beyond an intellectual approach to the Dharma. As Khenpo Rinpoche sums up\, “Know this life to be like a dream\, See the mind’s unborn nature\, Aspire to be of benefit to others.”
