SUMMARY:Walking the Path of Recovery: Buddhism & the 12 Steps
DESCRIPTION:Walking the Path of Recovery: Buddhism & the 12 Steps\nwith Margaret Jones Callahan and Brian Callahan \nThe path of Dharma and the path of recovery complement each other and work together to support and deepen sobriety. Buddhism and the 12 Steps each offer a template or method for one’s personal\, spiritual journey. Both Buddhism and the 12 Steps begin with looking at life on its own terms: either acknowledging life’s unmanageability (as in Step 1) or acknowledging the truth of suffering. Both paths lead to the discovery of joy\, compassion\, and a deeper spiritual relationship to the world. Both Buddhism and the 12 Steps shine a light onto the path towards freedom. \nEvent Details and Registration

SUMMARY:Rev Christy Bates - Purification or Harmony?
DESCRIPTION:Topic of the teaching: “Purification or Harmony?” \n\nWe typically encounter the Teachings through the lens of a guilty self. Meanwhile\, our English translations tend to skew in that direction\, too. And we know that the suffering of greed\, hatred and delusion first-hand. What might it be like to encounter the Dhamma with an intent to harmonize and transmute these energies? Come join Christie Bates (Passatininna) as we explore together! \n\nChristy’s Website – https://www.passaticounseling.com/meditation\nChristy’s App – https://www.passaticounseling.com/thebeautifulhuman\nAṅgulimāla Sutta – https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN86.html

SUMMARY:Buddhism and Recovery with Kevin Griffin and Greg Pergament
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique meditation retreat combining traditional Buddhist practices with recovery and Twelve Step work. Primarily conducted in silence\, the retreat focuses on mindfulness meditation and heart practices\, with additional interactive exercises\, lectures\, and meetings exploring ways that Buddhism\, recovery\, and the Steps can complement each other. The emphasis will be on bringing mindfulness to all our activities\, whether in formal meditation\, movement\, speaking\, listening\, or eating. Daily Qigong practice offered by Greg Pergament will bring added healing and energy to the retreat. \nParticipants will practice Noble Silence outside of the interactive exercises and 12-Step-style meetings. All recovery paths are welcome\, whether Twelve Step\, Refuge Recovery\, substance\, process\, or relationship-oriented. The intensive nature of the retreat allows for profound personal openings\, insight\, and transformation. The support of the community carries us through the sometimes challenging\, sometimes inspiring elements of this deep inner work. You must be at least 30 days clean and sober in order to attend the retreat.

SUMMARY:The Power of Choice
DESCRIPTION:Choices guide the manner in which we walk the path of Dharma. Can we use suffering to build joy? Can we turn the obstacles in our lives into good medicine for our growth? \n\nPrayer \n\n\n\nNama Butsu\, Nama Hou\, Nama Sou\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe honor our teachers\, our teachings\, and our communities\,\nKnowing that as we do so\, we connect with that sacred center within each of us\nthat is the home of our deliverance from suffering.\nIt is our place of belonging\, our place of unity\, of communion\, of oneness—\nit is the Buddha nature which we all aspire to awaken.\nIt is the one Buddha mind that uplifts\, supports\, nurtures and encompasses us all.\n \nAs we unite together in oneness\, each reflecting upon our own lives\nand hearing the stories of other lives\,\nwe come to a place of understanding our common ground and our sameness\nand we release the suffering we have caused ourselves and others.\nThis moment is a change in our thinking\, our behavior\, our voices—\nwe come together in this truth—there is no separation between us.\n \nOur participation today\, is the beginning of a new way of showing up\,\na new understanding of well considered causes\,\nin recognition that we are interconnected and that all our actions have impact\,\nand always we are one.\nThe truth of this recognition fuels every moment of intentional interaction\nas we walk forward together on this day.\n \nWe are grateful for our awareness of our oneness in the Dharma;\nwe are grateful to know that we are victorious in our efforts for seeking awakening;\nwe are grateful to be alive to have each and every opportunity to transform our lives;\nwe are grateful that our hearts are a place of prayer;\nalways mindful\, always intent on walking this path of liberation.\n \nEach of our voices is a song of liberation;\ntogether we form a chorus of awakening that lifts us all out of suffering.\nThis is our truth—we are the Buddha’s children\,\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwe are the emissaries of love and compassion.\n\n\n\nTeacher Bio \nMyokei Caine-Barrett currently holds the position of Bishop of the Nichiren Shu Buddhist Order of North America.  She is the first woman and the first American to hold this position.  She is also the first American woman and first person of African American-Japanese descent to be fully ordained\, having completed this process in 2007 with  Archbishop Nissho Uchino  in Yamanashi Prefecture\, Japan.   She is the guiding teacher and resident priest at Myoken-ji Temple in Houston\, Texas. \n  \n\n\n\nMyokei Shonin continues to volunteer with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice as clergy to two prison Sanghas for the past 16 years in keeping with the Lotus Sutra teaching of full equality of all beings.  Her writings have been published in a variety of Buddhist magazines [Tricycle\, Lion’s Roar] and newspapers [Nichiren Shu News] and is featured in “The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-Five Centuries of Awakened Women.” She is currently developing curriculum for (1) the Nichiren Shu tradition and the Lotus Sutra and (2) dealing with the trauma of incarceration and racism. \n  \n\n\n\nShe also supports weekend trainings for Healing Warrior Hearts\, a Texas for Heroes project designed to truly welcome veterans home. Myokei Shonin is a facilitator in dialogues on racism and managing conflict mindfully. She is also a licensed Religious Science practitioner.

SUMMARY:Freedom without Expectations
DESCRIPTION:The way out of suffering\, the Buddha said\, is the Middle Way; the middle path between the extremes of sensual existence. The first and most critical step of the Middle Way is appropriate understanding. And the first things we need to understand correctly are the realities\, limitations and possibilities of being human. \nThe Buddha’s primary insight can be paraphrased as life is painful and then you die. If this is true\, then how do we respond to the difficulties and disappointments of this life and the certainty of death? \nThrough talks\, meditations and group work we will explore the ‘true’ realities of existence and what an appropriate response might be in both our mental attitude and our engagement with the spectrum of sensuality\, and the unavoidable vicissitudes of life.
