SUMMARY:Online Course: A Year of Dharmic Astrology
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Pawasarat and Doug Duncan have designed a course on dharmic astrology to reflect the themes that unfold over the course of a year. This format has been chosen to mark the occasion of Doug Sensei’s year of integration\, from June 2014 until June 2015. \nWithin the period of each sign of the zodiac over the coming year\, new material will be released that explores the month’s sign. The course videos are released each month and are all available to you whenever you decide to register for the course. There is also a place to share and ask questions of the teachers and other participants throughout the course. \nIntroducing a Year of Dharmic Astrology\nhttps://youtu.be/I9xbFYmJlvg \nReady to join the course?\nRegister here: Course Registration. Note\, you can start the course at any time. All course material from each zodiac sign\, each month\, starting in April 2014\, will be available\, regardless of when you register during the year. \nIf you have already registered\, go to https://ruzuku.com and login with your e-mail and password. You may already be logged in if you are using the same computer and browser. \nDana\n“Dāna” (pron. dahna) is a Sanskrit and Pali word meaning “generosity” or “giving.” Offering material support enriches both giver and receiver. In addition to increased abundance in one’s material situation\, one leaves habitual states of mental poverty and steadily enters a world of emotional richness. By cultivating a healthy spirit of generosity\, we deepen our own practice and support teachers to make these healing tools available to all. When we practice Dana with an open heart\, everyone benefits. While your gift is not obligatory\, we encourage you to make whatever gift that is within your means. \nRead More:  What is Dana? An Article by Catherine Pawasarat. \nTo give an offering of Dāna: Click on the Alms Bowl below. \n\n\n\n\nFor those in Japan: Japanese law does not allow paypal to receive donations. Please send contact your local Japan sangha. \nOther Opportunities for Awakening Guidance\nView our events schedule for upcoming in-person retreats & courses with Doug and Catherine.

SUMMARY:Vajrasattva Wongkur\, Calgary
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Night – Vajra Sattva Wong Kur. 7:30pm – 8:30pm (please arrive at 7pm). \nThis wongkur is a special initiation bestowed on students to accelerate their spiritual progress. The Vajrasattva practice is said to be particularly powerful for purifying the impure energy of the mind and the negative actions of body and speech that arise from it. In all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism\, the Vajrasattva practice is one of the preliminary practices. \nSometimes our Dharma practice doesn’t seem to bring good results. This is because our negative karma is creating obstacles. Doing this Vajrasattva practice can purify these negative mental imprints\, thus removing the obstacles and suffering that result from our negative habits. \nWhat is a Wong Kur? More info here: https://www.clearskycenter.org/images/stories/misc-pdfs/wongkur.pdf \nDana\nAchariya Doug Duncan lives solely by the donation bowl. Participants are encouraged to practice Dana (generosity) to support the teaching.  It is also customary to bring an offering of Dana to present to the Lama during the wongkur.

SUMMARY:Guatemala: Annual Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“Kasinas\,” “mandalas” and “psychedelia” are all different words referring to tools for the development of the mind. Kasinas comprise part of the ten recollections taught by the Buddha; they are known to develop calm and concentration while also leading to bliss. Using meditative objects — such as the four elements\, colors and breathing — together we unlock the power of the here and now\, opening the mind to its natural state: clear\, radiant\, spacious wonder.\nA traditional Tibetan empowerment (or “Wong Kur”) for White Tara will be offered during this silent retreat. White Tara represents our connection with the transcendental\, and is also known for her compassion\, serenity\, and ability to confer healing and longevity.\nThis silent meditation retreat is beneficial for all levels of practitioner\, from the beginning meditation student to advanced practitioners. It includes two daily teachings with Sensei plus an opportunity for personal interviews as well as three daily group sits and time for personal practice. There will be a one hour yoga class each day with our beloved and skillful teacher\, Rae Ishe. \nVilla Sumaya has generously priced this retreat to make it accessible to all practitioners.\nPlease contact Lizzy or visit Villa Sumaya website for more details.

SUMMARY:Moving Through Anxiety\, Habits and Addiction: Toronto Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Transforming the Traumas of Everyday Life \n There will also be Public Talks in Toronto\, March 29th & 30th\, 2014.\n \nWhat is at the core of the ultimate unsatisfactory nature of our daily modern lives? Three of the things many of us struggle with most are our habits\, our anxieties and our addictions. \nMuch of our lives’ activities are spent attempting to either distract or overcome these forces. Even spiritual practice can and is often used this way: to smooth over or suppress these elements that have such a hold on us. \nWhat if instead of attempting to defeat or conquer these parts of ourselves\, we turned and moved into them? What would a deeper\, compassionate examination of habit\, anxiety and addiction uncover? \nDuring this 10-day retreat\, Achariya Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat will guide participants to transform addiction\, anxiety and unwholesome habits into passion\, exhilaration\, and freedom. We will examine our ways of coping with the traumas life brings\, and reframe them; finding the leverage points to uncover a more compassionate\, loving and joyful way of being. \nThe retreat will feature daily morning talks\, daily movement sessions\, 3 group meditation sits per day (the last with discussion/Q & A)\, discussions or debates (on topics to be announced)\, and opportunities for private interviews with the teachers. \nFor more information\, please contact Ruth\, details below.\nTo register\, please contact the Dharma Centre of Canada: AdminOffice@dharmacentre.org \n\n\nSuggested Readings: \n\nIncognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman\nThe Trauma of Everyday Life by Mark Epstein\nThe Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg

SUMMARY:Bali Meditation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“The Five Great Elements” Retreat: \nOn Bali\, the “island of holy water\,” Earth\, Wind\, Fire\, Water and Ether (also known as Akasa or space) are at the core of its myriad spiritual ceremonies. With this backdrop of Hinduism and Bali’s ancient animistic roots\, Achariya Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat will lead us through a 10-day retreat focusing on Buddhadharma and the “The Five Great Elements.” \nThe elements are seen as the origin for understanding suffering and liberation from suffering connected to the chakras\, planets\, emotions\, senses\, and ego. \n“From the five elements arise the five senses and the five fields of sensory experience\, the five negative emotions\, the five wisdoms and five extensions of the body; the constituents of every physical\, sensual\, mental and spiritual phenomenon.”-Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nFor those in the Bali area please join us for this journey through emotion & intuition (water)\, grounding (earth)\, mobility (air)\, transformation (fire) and the space in between (ether).

SUMMARY:Japan Annual Year-Launching Retreat: Guru Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, Dec 25\, 2013 – Saturday\, Jan 4\, 2014\nJoin us as we begin the year by deepening our commitment to awakening in this lifetime. \nDo-It-Yourself (DIY) Dharma and the maxim that we are all already awakened are enjoying much popularity nowadays. Certainly each of us is responsible for our own awakening\, and there’s truth to the concept that we’re awakened already… but the nature of a blind spot is that it is blind. The role of the guru or guide on the Path is to bring sight to the blind\, or shine light on what is dark\, our shadow. The path of guru yoga — also known as karma yoga\, service\, or dharma training — comprises a very dynamic and rapid way to wake up. This retreat takes advantage of the Japanese temple setting to provide an environment conducive to hours of meditative practice daily\, while the teachings will explore our resistances to getting over conflicting emotions and trouble-causing views that keep us asleep. The Buddha\, in his time\, was hailed as a ‘trainer’ rather than a teacher. Thus we know that the training is key to waking us up from the sleepwalking autopilot of our conditioning\, and for speeding up our awakening process. \nThe annual year-end retreat in Japan is renowned for the depth of the practice and the supporting conditions — world-class teachings\, a seasoned sangha with many years of meditating together\, a traditional Shingon temple in the countryside\, and the influence of Zen culture all around you in Japan. \nEmail Nicole to register for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meditate and receive contemporary teachings of awakening in a Japanese Buddhist context.

SUMMARY:Australian Dharma Trip & Three-Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join Doug and Catherine Sensei on this unique custom exploration of Australia’s Tropical Far North Queensland. Starting in Cairns you will visit the World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforests\, World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef (all part of the Wet Tropics)\, Atherton Tablelands and Australia’s largest National Park Island\, Hinchinbrook Island. \nAfter immersing ourselves in the sacred and breathtakingly beautiful northern part of Australia\, we’ll truly engage with Aboriginal people and traditions through an “indigenous cultural day”. All is designed to correlate with the wonderful\, crowning teachings of the Dharma at a three-day retreat: Awakening Through Traditional Wisdom. \nHuman history includes many approximate maps of the archetypal journey of spiritual unfoldment\, including everything from shamanism and agriculture-based cosmologies\, through the likes of Christianity and Buddhism\, to modern self-realization methodologies. We explore how\, throughout the ages\, spiritual traditions have used archetypes to bring the heroines and heroes of our journey to remain deeply embedded in our unconscious\, or to make breakthroughs so as to become highly integrated and self-aware. These spiritual traditions and new methodologies hold in common the ability to bridge our worldly concerns to our enlightened nature\, which lies both beyond and within. Easy access to both the mundane and the transcendental is crucial for a balanced life and spiritual health\, as well as for fearless transitions through the various stages of life and death. Just as permaculture represents a radical yet very sensible combination of many practical traditions and methodologies\, awakening can be achieved in this lifetime by drawing on traditional spiritual wisdom of indigenous cultures and ancient spiritual practices such as the Kabbalah and Buddhism. \nPlease contact Emma to register for this life-changing experience.
