SUMMARY:Sunday Sitting and Talk Online
DESCRIPTION:Shaila Catherine will offer the guided meditation and dhamma teachings at this online meditation group hosted by Sangha Live. \nTopic: Protecting the Mind \nDescription: \nThe encounter with sensory experiences can lead to insight and calm\, or reactivity and suffering. How do you guard your mind in the midst of a daily barrage of sensory input? How do you protect your mind so that tranquility and wisdom will be well established? The Buddha encouraged restraint of the senses\, but this restraint does not require avoidance of sensory contacts or control of the external environment. In this talk\, Shaila Catherine will describe how mindfulness allows us to meet the experiences of sensory contact — of seeing\, hearing\, smelling\, tasting\, touching\, and thinking with a mind free of reactivity. Mindfulness protects the mind so that it does not come under the sway of defilements. Mindfulness is a special quality of attention that is balanced in the moment of observing experience. Before looking\, before reaching\, before speaking\, before any activity\, we can establish the intention of mindfully meeting the experience without giving rise to anger\, irritation\, lust\, fear\, or any defilement. The practice of sensory restraint leads to a life of happiness and joy\, and lays the foundation for experiences of deep concentration and awakening. \nSunday\, April 20 at 11:00 AM Pacific Time \nMore information will be posted on the Sangha Live website in the weeks prior to the event: https://sangha.live/free_live/sunday-sangha-20th-april-2025/ \nBy donation.

SUMMARY:ONLINE SUTTA STUDY RETREAT: Living Without Enemies
DESCRIPTION:Living Without Enemies\nA Weekend ONLINE AT-HOME Sutta Study Retreat\nwith Shaila Catherine \nJune 28 – 30\, 2024 \nThe Buddha said\, “The world may quarrel with me\, but I do not quarrel with the world.” How can we live our lives without hate—without making anyone into an enemy? \nThis program will use both sutta study and meditation practice to explore the Buddha’s teachings on anger. We will examine how untrained minds meet unpleasant experiences with irritation\, blame\, prejudice\, and hatred; and how trained minds abide at ease in the face of difficulties. The Discourses of the Buddha offer us empowering stories\, similies\, instructions\, and teachings that can help us understand and overcome our own aversive tendencies. Through meditative development we learn to meet pain\, disagreement\, and even abuse\, with a balanced\, kind\, and wise attention; we free the mind from the underlying tendency to hate. \nPlease join us as we deepen our practice together through a program of live video conferences with Shaila Catherine. The online meetings will include guided meditations\, Dharma talks\, and question and answer sessions. \nRegistration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. Registration may close a few days prior to the retreat\, so don’t wait to the last minute! \nMore information and a link to join the zoom video conferences will be emailed to registrants a few days prior to the retreat. \nThis retreat is appropriate for all levels of meditators—beginning\, intermediate\, and experienced practitioners. \n\nRETREAT SCHEDULE (Times are given in Pacific Time\, San Francisco) \n\n\nFriday\n4:30 – 6:00 PM– Opening Session – Guided Meditation and Dhamma Talk \n\n\nSaturday\n8:00 – 8:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n11:00 – 1:00 AM – Session One\n3:00 – 5:00 PM – Session Two \n\n\nSunday\n8:00 – 8:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n11:00 – 1:00 AM – Session One\n3:00 – 5:00 PM – Session Two \n\n\nRETREAT SCHEDULE (Times are given in Eastern Time\, Boston) \n\n\nFriday\n7:30 – 9:00 PM – Opening Session – Guided Meditation and Dhamma Talk \n\n\nSaturday\n11:00 – 11:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n2:00 – 4:00 PM – Session One\n6:00 – 8:00 PM – Session Two \n\n\nSunday\n11:00 – 11:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n2:00 – 4:00 PM – Session One\n6:00 – 8:00 PM – Session Two \n\nVisit our Founding Teacher page for biography and photograph of the teacher. \nQuestions?: For more information contact sit \nCo-sponsored by Bodhi-Retreats and Insight Meditation South Bay \n\nRegistration: Registration is required for this course.

We will observe the vital role that mindfulness and concentration play on a liberating path; recognize the courage needed to overcome obstacles; reflect on the inevitability of death; contemplate impermanence in all perceptions; cultivate wise attention to the body; practice letting go; clarify what matters most; and nourish compassion\, generosity\, and community connections. \nThe course will loosely follow the book Daughters of the Buddha by Bhikkhu Anālayo. We will explore various themes referred to in the book and follow tangents for discussion with additional readings and practices drawn from the suttas. The course will include teachings\, group discussions\, meditation\, and suggested practices. \nPlease purchase the book\, Daughters of the Buddha\, and read pages 1–33 prior to the first session. \nRegister now by selecting a ticket below to join us in delving into the teachings that may transform your life!\nCo-sponsored by Insight Meditation South Bay & Bodhi Retreats \n\nVISIT our Teacher Page for teacher biographies and photographs. \nWHO SHOULD JOIN: This course is open to anyone\, however\, since emphasis will be on the discourses of the Buddha rather than meditation\, participants should already have some mindfulness meditation experience. \nCOURSE LEVELS: It is designed as a level 2–3 course.

SUMMARY:Transformative Teachings | Online Sutta Study Course | Shaila Catherine & Kim Allen
DESCRIPTION:Registration has closed.\nTransformative Teachings\nAn Online IMSB Dhamma Study Course with Shaila Catherine and Kim Allen\nSix Monday Evenings from February 27 – July 24\, 2023 | 5:30 – 7:00 PM Pacific Time\n\nFeb 27\nMarch 20\nApril 24\nMay 29\nJune 26\nJuly 24\n\nBuddhist teachings contain many inspiring stories of ordinary people whose lives were transformed when they encountered the Dharma. For people who met the Buddha more than two millennia ago as well as for contemporary meditators\, Dharma teachings can spark life-altering reflections\, open the mind to new possibilities\, ignite creative insights\, affirm profound understandings\, and expand one’s potential in life. \nThis 6-session online course explores a variety of transformative teachings through the extraordinary stories of select disciples of the Buddha. As we learn about the historic impact that dharma teachings have had on the lives of the early disciples\, we will explore how these teachings guide our practice today. We will observe the vital role that mindfulness and concentration play on a liberating path; recognize the courage needed to overcome obstacles; reflect on the inevitability of death; contemplate impermanence in all perceptions; cultivate wise attention to the body; practice letting go; clarify what matters most; and nourish compassion\, generosity\, and community connections. \nThe course will loosely follow the book Daughters of the Buddha by Bhikkhu Anālayo. We will explore various themes referred to in the book and follow tangents for discussion with additional readings and practices drawn from the suttas. The course will include teachings\, group discussions\, meditation\, and suggested practices. \nPlease purchase the book\, Daughters of the Buddha\, and read pages 1–33 prior to the first session. \nRegister now by selecting a ticket below to join us in delving into the teachings that may transform your life!\nCo-sponsored by Insight Meditation South Bay & Bodhi Retreats \n\nVISIT our Teacher Page for teacher biographies and photographs. \nWHO SHOULD JOIN: This course is open to anyone\, however\, since emphasis will be on the discourses of the Buddha rather than meditation\, participants should already have some mindfulness meditation experience. \nCOURSE LEVELS: It is designed as a level 2–3 course. Click this link for a key to course level designations. \nVIDEO CONFERENCES: We will use the Zoom video conference platform. Zoom is easy to access via computer or phone. More information and the zoom link will be provided in the confirmation materials after registering. This is a discussion oriented course\, and we not guarantee that there will be recordings for all the sessions. Please register only if you expect to be able to attend at least half the program. \n\nREGISTRATION:

SUMMARY:ONLINE RETREAT: Mindfulness of Death
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness of Death\nAn Online Weekend Retreat via Zoom\nWith Shaila Catherine\nAssisted by Peter Gilmore and Neil Stegall \nMay 20 ­– 22\, 2022 \nRegistration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. Registration will close three days prior to the retreat\, so don’t wait to the last minute! \n“Mindfulness of death\, when developed and cultivated\, is of great fruit and benefit\, culminating in the deathless\, having the deathless as its consummation.”\n– Anguttara Nikaya 8.7 \nWestern societies are adept at hiding death. It occurs behind closed doors or in “sanitized” locations like hospitals and nursing homes. Most people rarely see corpses up close or witness the process of dying. It may seem that we have lost access to the spiritual insights that a closer connection with death could bring. \nDeveloping mindfulness of our own death can protect the mind from complacency\, and inspire us to practice dharma with greater energy and sincerity. Formal death contemplation can prepare us for the inevitable event of dying\, help us to let go of latent fears\, stimulate profound insights into impermanence\, clarify priorities\, and abandon sensory attachments. \nMany forms of maranasati (mindfulness of death) are taught in Buddhist traditions. Most simply\, we practice remaining aware and balanced as we reflect on the fact that we will surely die. These contemplations can remove fear of death and produce a sense of being at ease with the nature of things. \nThis online weekend at-home retreat will introduce a Buddhist approach to the contemplation of death and dying through a program of live video conferences with Shaila Catherine\, Peter Gilmore\, and Neil Stegall. The online meetings will include guided meditations\, Dharma talks\, question and answer sessions and discussions. \nRegistration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. Registration will close about 3 days prior to the retreat\, so don’t wait to the last minute! \nZoom links will be emailed to registrants a few days prior to the retreat. \nRETREAT SCHEDULE \nTimes are given in Pacific Time (PDT) \nFriday\n5:30 – 7:00 pm        Opening Session\, Mindfulness of Death \nSaturday\n7:00 – 7:45am         Morning Meditation with Peter and Neil\n8:00 – 8:45am         Morning Guided Meditation with Shaila\n10:00– 12:00pm     Morning Teaching with Shaila\n1:30 – 3:30pm         Afternoon Teaching with Shaila\n4:15 – 5:30pm         Reflection and Discussion Group with Peter and Neil \nSunday\n7:00 – 7:45am         Morning Meditation with Peter and Neil\n8:00 – 8:45am         Morning Guided Meditation with Shaila\n10:00– 12:00pm     Morning Teaching with Shaila\n1:30 – 3:30pm         Afternoon Teaching with Shaila\n4:15 – 5:30pm         Reflection and Discussion Group with Peter and Neil \nVisit our Founding Teacher page for a biography and photograph of the teacher\, Shaila Catherine. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Tuesday Online—Shaila Catherine—Beyond Distraction
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Online—Shaila Catherine\nBeyond Distraction\nwith Shaila Catherine \nJoin us to celebrate the launch of Shaila Catherine’s new book!\nBeyond Distraction: Five Practical Ways to Focus the Mind \nLearn how to overcome distraction in meditation practice and develop clarity in your relationships\, work\, and daily life. \nWe create habits by repeating a thought or action over and over again. In her latest book\, Shaila Catherine offers an accessible strategy for training the mind that is guided by the Buddha’s pragmatic instructions on removing distracting thoughts. Following the Buddha’s approach\, she guides you through five steps for overcoming distraction and focusing the mind: replacing\, examining\, ignoring\, investigating\, and resolving. \nThis book will help you unlock the incredible capacities of your mind to think clearly\, reflect deeply\, discern what is real\, and pay attention to what is actually happening in your life. By working with this training\, you can develop skills to recognize the nature of your own mind and free yourself from habitual thought patterns. \nThe five step training boils down to one key realization: In the moment you recognize that a thought is just a thought\, you will find yourself on the path to a life of remarkable freedom. \nWhether you’re a beginner who struggles to tame a restless mind or an advanced meditator who strives to deepen concentration and insight\, the techniques to remove distracting thoughts can help you cultivate clarity and stability in your meditation practice and beyond. \nBuy the Book\nfrom bookshop.org/bodhi or your favorite bookseller. \nWhat Advance Readers Say…\nWith clarity and heart\, Shaila Catherine shows us many effective ways to be free of stressful\, anxious\, hurt\, and resentful thoughts. Her book is deep and vast\, grounded in science and illuminated by Buddhist wisdom\, and useful for both specific issues and a lifetime of practice. \n— Rick Hanson\, author of Neurodharma: New Science\, Ancient Wisdom\, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness\nBeyond Distraction offers a bounty of illustrations and practical exercises to help people recognize what distracts them in life\, and work skillfully with their own minds. I highly recommend this book! \n— Phil Jones\, Dharma Teacher at Mid-America Dharma\nDeeply rooted in the dharma but easy to follow\, this very practical book will transform your ability to meditate\, so you can transform your mind. \n— Kristin Neff\, author of Fierce Self-Compassion\nI felt that she was speaking directly to me and my own experience\, saying just the right thing to bring a smile and a nod and show me a way forward in my own practice. Very highly recommended! \n— Ed H.\, California\nShaila offers readers a treasure trove of practices to live a fulfilled life. She offers skillful means to dissolve the notion of distraction and to engage fully with our priorities. Readable\, clear and down-to-earth\, Beyond Distraction deserves a wide readership. \n— Christopher Titmuss\, author of The Buddha of Love\nThe many practical exercises have helped me transform the way I relate to my thoughts. I will come back to these exercises again and again. \n— Robin B.\, New Jersey\nThis event is appropriate for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners.
