We take turns sharing whatever we wish while helping each other tune into our habitual tendencies to judge–whether with approval or criticism–virtually everything from people’s appearance to their innermost thoughts. \nOur attachment to our own opinions can create great suffering for ourselves and others. Bringing “unconditional positive regard” (a term coined by the humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers) to our relationships fosters mutual respect\, compassion for our human imperfections\, and freedom from the feelings of judging and being judged. It doesn’t mean that everything we do is fine; instead\, it involves basic respect for each other based on acceptance of who we truly are–the good\, the bad\, and the ugly. \nWe often start with whole-group sharing and discussion\, then break into smaller groups to improve awareness of our critical reactions in both the speaker and listener roles. \nNo Judgment Zone is open to everyone age 18 and over\, regardless of religious background or preference\, or lack thereof. By attending the group\, we agree to hold everything shared as confidential.

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.” URL:https://karunabuddhistcenter.org/event/songs-of-realization/ LOCATION:Karuna Buddhist Center\, 423 S. 4th Avenue\, Ann Arbor\, MI ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://karunabuddhistcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ktgr-_199_looking_out.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20231121T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20231121T203000 DTSTAMP:20260525T005554 CREATED:20231015T201507Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231029T182122Z UID:486-1700593200-1700598600@karunabuddhistcenter.org SUMMARY:Zoom Teachings by Khenpo Chophel DESCRIPTION:NGONDRO: The 4 Special Foundations\, Part III. \nKhenpo Chophel will continue his teaching on Ngondro with discussion of the 2nd Special Foundation\, Vajrasattva Purification Practice.
