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.

While this introductory series is accessible to newcomers\, more advanced students will definitely learn something new.

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.” \n\n \n \n Zoom Information Request\n We encourage everyone to attend in person teachings but can make most teachings available via zoom by request.
