SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Puja
DESCRIPTION:The Medicine Buddha puja purifies and heals on all levels: physical\, mental\, spiritual\, and environmental. It is considered particularly powerful for people who are sick or have recently died\, and for bringing both temporal success and the ultimate success of enlightenment.\nWe practice <> by Panchen Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen. \nYou are welcome to come as an observer or participant in this beneficial practice within a supportive community. There is no charge to participate\, and you are welcome to make an offering of food or flowers to create merit\, or positive energy. \nBecause this is a practice belonging to Action Tantra\, it is best not to eat black foods (including meat\, eggs\, onion\, garlic\, and radishes) on the day of the puja. It is also best to avoid these foods in offerings. For food offerings\, plant-based options are fantastic!

SUMMARY:Meditations on Love and Impermanence with Marisa Viola
DESCRIPTION:Love and Impermanence: In theory\, it’s easy to accept impermanence as one of life’s most fundamental truths. Everything changes. We know this. But when what felt like stable ground begins to shift\, it can be hard to stay open. How do we keeping loving in a world that hands us one change after another? What can we ever settle into? In this ongoing class\, we’ll explore practices and teachings that allow us to open in surprising ways. We might even find that\, come what may\, we have access to joy\, warmth\, and courage.

SUMMARY:Faith and Impermanence with Yangsi Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:Shantideva Center is delighted to host virtual teachings from Geshe Lharampa Yangsi Rinpoche from Maitripa College in Portland\, Oregon. In this series of four teachings\, Rinpoche delves into the topics of faith (Tib. dépa; its three kinds and many benefits) and impermanence. \nFaith invigorates and nourishes the entire spiritual path\, from the first thought that we can let go of our fixations and nurture our virtues all the way to enlightenment. Faith might aptly be depicted as a dry desert becoming rehabilitated and transformed into lush green land. Contemplating impermanence allows us to relax our usually rigid sense of self and be open to perceiving that we are mere guests hosted in the guesthouse of our five aggregates. Meditating on impermanence strengthens our ability to stay aware of the present and gently challenge the notion that we have endless time to fill with leisurely distractions. \nIn this series\, Rinpoche interweaves these topics to give us a rich sense of the invigorating and nourishing power of faith\, the clear-eyed wisdom of impermanence\, and the importance of both on the spiritual path.

SUMMARY:Discovering (Self) Compassion: Metta Meditation with Kimberly Brown

SUMMARY:Cittamani Tara Puja
DESCRIPTION:Cittamani Tara\, the highest yoga tantra manifestation of the deity Tara\, can lead us to liberation and enlightenment within a single lifetime. Tara\, a female personification of the enlightened mind\, is known as Tara the Liberator\, an embodiment of enlightened activity\, and mother of all the buddhas. On this ultimate level\, she manifests perfect wisdom.\nCittamani Tara Puja is a practice that invokes Cittamani Tara\, well-known as a source of swift assistance in all temporal and spiritual matters. She is called upon to bring success – including for situations involving family\, relationships\, business\, and career – and for protection from all negativities and fears. She is also invoked in times of emergency\, personal distress and difficulty\, health problems\, for the quick removal of obstacles\, and when rapid wisdom is needed. \nThe Cittamani Tara Puja includes four mandala offerings\, fourfold offerings including flowers\, optional prostrations\, and a twofold recitation of the Praises to the 21 Taras. This puja is a powerful support for our Dharma practice and achieving our temporal and ultimate goals. \n“There are so many inner obstacles to the development of your mind\, and these inner obstacles create many outer obstacles. Therefore\, for the success of your Dharma practice\, of your actualizing the graduated path to enlightenment\, you must rely upon a special deity or buddha\, such as Tara.” —Lama Zopa Rinpoche (Kopan Monastery\, May 1987) \nKyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche has specifically advised that the Cittamani Tara Puja be practiced by Shantideva Center.

SUMMARY:The Most Essential Teaching: The Four Noble Truths with Geshe Tashi Tsering
DESCRIPTION:“Whatever we study after the four noble truths will echo back to this most essential teaching\, and conversely this teaching will be revealed in everything else we study.”–Geshe Tashi Tsering \nShantideva Center is delighted to host Khen Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering\, abbot of Sera Mey Monastic University\, to teach on the Buddha’s first and most essential teaching. The whole of Buddhist philosophy and the entire path to enlightenment can be found in the four noble truths: \n1. Life is characterized by suffering.\n2. The cause of suffering is ignorance.\n3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.\n4. There is a path to the cessation of suffering. \nThis spring\, contemplate these four noble truths with the skilled guidance of Geshe Tashi Tsering. In his characteristic warmth and clarity\, Geshe-la will offer a series of four online Saturday morning teachings on the Four Noble Truths Sutra (also known as “Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dhamma”). By listening to teachings on this text\, we will become familiar with the three phases of engaging with these truths: knowing the nature of the truth\, knowing what needs to be done in connection with that truth\, and finally\, accomplishing what needs to be done. This foundational teaching is always relevant\, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey!

SUMMARY:Meditations on Love and Impermanence with Marisa Viola
DESCRIPTION:Love and Impermanence: In theory\, it’s easy to accept impermanence as one of life’s most fundamental truths. Everything changes. We know this. But when what felt like stable ground begins to shift\, it can be hard to stay open. How do we keeping loving in a world that hands us one change after another? What can we ever settle into? In this ongoing class\, we’ll explore practices and teachings that allow us to open in surprising ways. We might even find that\, come what may\, we have access to joy\, warmth\, and courage.

SUMMARY:The Most Essential Teaching: The Four Noble Truths with Geshe Tashi Tsering
DESCRIPTION:“Whatever we study after the four noble truths will echo back to this most essential teaching\, and conversely this teaching will be revealed in everything else we study.”–Geshe Tashi Tsering  \nShantideva Center is delighted to host Khen Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering\, abbot of Sera Mey Monastic University\, to teach on the Buddha’s first and most essential teaching. The whole of Buddhist philosophy and the entire path to enlightenment can be found in the four noble truths: \n1. Life is characterized by suffering.\n2. The cause of suffering is ignorance.\n3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.\n4. There is a path to the cessation of suffering. \nThis spring\, contemplate these four noble truths with the skilled guidance of Geshe Tashi Tsering. In his characteristic warmth and clarity\, Geshe-la will offer a series of four online Saturday morning teachings on the Four Noble Truths Sutra (also known as “Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dhamma”). By listening to teachings on this text\, we will become familiar with the three phases of engaging with these truths: knowing the nature of the truth\, knowing what needs to be done in connection with that truth\, and finally\, accomplishing what needs to be done. This foundational teaching is always relevant\, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey!
