At this time in history, the skills for Living in harmony are needed more than ever. The teachings for this program will be drawn from the 2017 Tricycle Program with Andrew Olendzki. Dr. Olendzki selected several excerpts of texts from the Pali Canon that reflect the Buddha's early teachings on how to live in harmony. These texts suggest that Buddha's inspiration for teaching was his compassion for the struggle of human beings trying to deal skillfully with interpersonal conflict.
More than a year ago, I started writing about harmony and have posted the essays on the blog for this website. Three essays from February, March, and April have either the word harmony or community in the titles. As we watch a world at war, many of us have been concerned about the challenges of living in harmony not only locally but globally. Recently I have been writing about the concept of human flourishing and have been focusing on factors that bring out the best in us. The first of these flourishing factors is mindfulness. Join our discussion to explore these teachings from the Buddha in the context of contemporary psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and philosophy.
We meet Monday nights at 6:30 to meditate and the program for the week begins at 7:00. We are currently working with a hybrid format so you can access in person or on Zoom. Our in-person meetings are at Porters Neck Yoga Co-op and Bhavana Community at 106 Marshall Court Unit 120 Wilmington, N. C. 28411 (just behind Winslett and Walls Dental Excellence 7643 Market Street). For information and online links, contact me, catherine@bhavanacommunity.org. There is no charge for this program but you are invited to make a donation to support our programs and the periodic donations to teachers we support.
Bodi College has partnered with Tricycle Magazine again to present another program that is destined to become a classic. Each of the four Bodhi College faculty bring a slightly different and personal view to the teachings on the Eight-Fold Path. Each of them are well-educated in traditional Buddhist concepts as well as the more contemporary views that are emerging from the study of the Early Buddhist Texts (EBT). Although some of the views are unconventional, they are presented in the context of the traditional view so you can see for yourself what parts of the path draw you personally to the practice. I will also be sharing my own views of these teachings and why I think they are important for human flourishing, not just for the liberation that is highlighted in the traditional teachings.
