Awake in the World | Course One

On Being a Beneficial Citizen in the World - Week One
taught by Rev. Susan Shannon

Dates:
Sundays | March 1, 8, & 15

Location:
Online via Zoom only

Time:
10 AM - 12 PM Pacific

This three-week session will be an exploration of the many maps of awakening as presented by Buddha's teaching. Stephen Batchelor, in his book 'Buddhism Without Beliefs' wrote that after his enlightenment, Buddha agreed to teach only after realizing that he'd be hampering the creation of Communities of Awakening if he didn't. And now here we are thousands of years later, still able to access all the cartography of the path to awakening, tossing around words like 'woke' and yet the world is frayed and people are afraid.

What happened? How can we change it? What is ours to do? How can we figure out exactly what our path is so we can become a pixel in the Global Awakening that so needs to happen?

We will explore various maps Buddha left us and place them in our individual lives as cornerstones to our future. We will weave together the teachings of The Four Noble Truths, The Six Perfections, The Four Immeasurables, Lojong, and elements of Buddhist Psychology as they relate to the cycle of life. No stone unturned, but you will determine where, how and why they fit into your unique journey.
