SUMMARY:The Buddha’s Teaching on Immediate Awakening - Michael Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness of Realization:\nThe Buddha’s Teaching on Immediate Awakening \nLed by Michael Gregory \nApril 9th to April 11th \n--Zoom Only Weekend Retreat-- \n \n  \nIt is by being fully present with dispassionate mindfulness that we are able to truly see our attachments. In this brief teaching\, the Buddha taught the yogi Bahiya to put aside all views of self arising from confused and deluded thoughts based on clinging and craving. \nTo truly understand any problem\, the problem must be observed clearly\, without discriminating thought and without a view of self attached to what is observed. This includes the immediate and mundane problems of the ever-changing physical world\, and the individual and immediate problem of the distraction of stress and unhappiness. \nIn Dharma practice\, as dispassionate mindfulness develops\, the distraction of the physical world and the distraction of our own individual stress and unhappiness is understood as the same distraction. The ego-personalities’ need for the people and events of the phenomenal world to be different than they appear to be is the distraction of stress. It is the distraction of stress that leads to mindlessness and maintains stress and unhappiness\, and the confusion of the ego-personality. \nThrough knowledge developed through whole-hearted engagement with the Dhamma the distraction of the world is overcome\, stress and unhappiness are abandoned\, and lasting peace and happiness prevails. \nThe yogic adept Bahiya was right to understand the immediacy of needing to awaken through Dharma. No one can know when sickness\, aging and death will arise and this is why the Buddha gave these final instructions moments before he himself passed: \n“Impermanence and dissolution are relentless. Strive diligently for your own salvation.” \n~The Bahiya Sutra \nBAHIYA SUTTA \nUDANA 1.12 \nBahiya was revered in his community as a person of great understanding. One day in seclusion Bahiya entertained the idea of whether he was an Arahant\, an enlightened being\, or was he lacking in some key understanding. \nIn meditation\, a female deva told him that he was not yet an Arahant. In fact\, his current practice did not have the qualities that could give rise to enlightenment. (the deva is metaphor for Bahiya’s own heightened awareness) He asked the deva (insight arose within him) if there was one in the world who knew the way to enlightenment. \nThe deva told Bahiya of the Arahant\, a rightly self-awakened one who teaches his Dhamma. The Buddha was in Savatthi at the time. Bahiya immediately left to find the Buddha and learn the Dhamma. \nHe came upon a group of monks and asked if they knew where to find the Buddha. The monks told Bahiya that the Buddha was on his alms round. Bahiya went into town and came upon the Buddha. Bahiya feared impermanence and uncertainty and was concerned that he or the Buddha may die before he\, Bahiya\, received the Dhamma. \nThe Buddha was serene\, at peace. Bahiya placed himself at the Buddha’s feet and asked: “Teach me the Dhamma Awakened one. Teach me the Dhamma for my long-term welfare and lasting happiness.” \nThe Buddha replied\, “This is not the time\, Bahiya\, I am on my alms round.” \nBahiya pleaded “Awakened one\, no one can know for sure the dangers there may be for you or for me. Teach me the Dhamma for my long-term welfare and lasting happiness.” \nA second time the Buddha responded\, “This is not the time\, Bahiya\, I am on my alms round.” Again Bahiya pleaded “Awakened one\, no one can know for sure the dangers there may be for you or for me. Teach me the Dhamma for my long-term welfare and lasting happiness.” Finally\, the Buddha relented: “I will teach you the Dhamma\, Bahiya. Listen carefully to my words. Train your self in this manner: In what is seen\, there is only the seen. In what is heard\, there is only the heard. In what is sensed\, there is only the sensed. In what is cognized\, only the cognized. \nThis is how you should train yourself. When for you there is in what is seen only the seen\, in what is heard only the heard\, in what is sensed only the sensed and in what is cognized only the cognized\, then Bahiya there is no you in connection with what is seen\, heard\, sensed or cognized\, there is no you there. When there is no you there\, you are neither here nor there nor anywhere in-between. This and only this is the end of stress and unhappiness.” \nUpon hearing the words of the Buddha Bahiya’s mind cleared. Clinging and grasping\, greed and aversion ended\, and all self-referential views were extinguished. Bahiya awakened gaining full human maturity. \nShortly after Bahiya’s encounter with the Buddha and his enlightenment\, he was attacked and killed by a cow. The Buddha\, upon hearing of Bahiya’s death instructed some monks to retrieve the body\, to cremate it properly and to prepare a memorial to Bahiya. \nWhen completed the monks\, knowing Bahiya’s awakening\, asked the Buddha what Bahiya’s future state would be. The Buddha replied: “Monks\, Bāhiya was wise. He practiced the Dhamma in accordance with the Dhamma and did not pester me with issues not related to the Dhamma. Bāhiya\, monks\, is totally unbound.” “Where water\, earth\, fire\, & wind have no footing there the stars don’t shine\, the sun isn’t visible. There the moon doesn’t appear. There darkness is not found. And when a sage\, a brahman through great wisdom and discernment\, has realized [this] for himself\, then from form & formless\, from bliss & pain\, he is freed.” \nEnrollment: \nThis retreat is open to all. \n  \nSchedule: \nStarts Friday April 9th at 4 pm PT \nEnds Sunday April 11th around noon PT \n  \nTuition: \nSuggested donation is $200 for all participants. \nThe suggested donation allows Mindfulness Meditation Centers to support the costs of running the retreat\, the sharing and distribution of the teachings\, and the support of our community as a whole. \nMindfulness Meditation Centers is a non-profit center and community devoted to making meditation\, mindfulness\, and the teachings of awakening available to all.

SUMMARY:Bodhisattva Way - Take Refuge/Bodhisattva Vows; Aspen - Michael Gregory
DESCRIPTION:The 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva  \nwith \nMichael Gregory\, Founder \nof Mindfulness Meditation Centers \nFriday\, October 4 at 4:00 PM (MST) - Noon\, Sunday\, October 6\, 2019\n—Aspen\, Colorado— \nFriday: Red Brick Center for the Arts \nSaturday and Sunday: Aspen Library (Pitkin County Library) \n"The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire." \n                                                                                                    ~ Rumi \n  \nRecognizing their true potential and letting go of everything which could hinder them on their spiritual journey\, Bodhisattvas entrust themselves to the path taught by the Buddha. \nResisting disturbing emotions\, they learn to respond to difficult situations in a constructive way. Fully understanding the nature of reality and the illusion-like nature of pleasure and pain\, they overcome clinging attachment and aversion. In these ways\, Bodhisattvas come to cherish living beings as the source of all happiness and are ultimately able to work solely for the good of all. \nGeshe Sonam Rinchen wrote The Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas in the fourteenth century. His succinct and simple verses of advice summarize the quintessence of the Mahayana path to perfection. \nGen-la Michael’s oral teachings elucidate these practices for the modern Dharma practitioner and show how we can transform our actions\, feelings\, and ways of thinking to become Bodhisattvas ourselves. \nEveryone will need accessories for this retreat: a bag of rice\, an apron\, and a plate. For Vajrayana practitioners - please purchase a mandala set from a local Nepali or Tibetan shop or go online. Two plates are needed. Here are some suggested online sources: \n\nEbay\nDharma Objects Website\nAmazon\n\n*Enrollment for retreat is open to all.

Using group discussions and guided meditations\, new meditators and seasoned practitioners will explore these beautiful practices and states of awakening. \nBy practicing whole-heartedly\, fueled with Bodhicitta\, the reactive patterns of the dualistic-self dissolve\, expanding our capacity to directly experience these four boundless\, immeasurable states: the ease of equanimity\, the open-heartedness of love\, the tenderness of compassion\, and the radiance of joy.  \nWhat relaxes\, ultimately\, is the relentless and ignorant attachment to the sense of self–I\, me\, my and mine–so we may embrace the wisdom of our true nature.  \n* Enrollment for all retreats is open to all.
