SUMMARY:Greed\, Hate and Delusion: A Buddhist Theory of Everything
DESCRIPTION:“We are all addicted. We all plan our escapes from the existential angst of modern life. Some of us are just a bit more subtle about it than others. Buddhist psychology is the study of avoidance and addiction. Through the processes commonly known as the three poisons and popularly translated as ‘greed\, hate and delusion’ we avoid the reality of suffering and responsibility by choosing our particular poisons\, and in so doing we generate further levels of misery for ourselves. With a myriad variations on the old theme\, we set ourselves apart psychologically from our troubled times; an action which is devastating to all our futures on a planet overburdened by consumption and conflict as well as to our personal well-being. In this talk I will be offering some basic insights derived from this Buddhist understanding and some pointers which Buddhism offers for unhooking from these pernicious processes\, both at the personal and the collective level.”

SUMMARY:The Dharma in Family Recovery
DESCRIPTION:“Not everyone has the type of brain that finds significant relief through alcohol or other substances; in fact\, most people had to find other ways to leave\, numb\, or explain away (i.e.\, distort) experiences that were too overwhelming for the body\, heart and mind of a developing child. And even if you didn’t grow up in the microcosm of an addicted or mentally ill family\, all of us grew up in the macrocosm shaped by voracious consumerism\, aggression\, and confusion about our true relationship to what we call “nature.” We need to recover from the suffering of socially acceptable forms of self-delusion. So for all of us growing up in this culture\, recovering awareness of the body and a sense of belonging in life is crucial for navigating\, and this is never more true than when you are dealing with the chronic illness of a loved one. Join us for a time of practicing responsible self care.”

SUMMARY:Gratitude Turns What We Have Into Enough and More
DESCRIPTION:“Recovery and gratitude seem to go hand in hand. In the heat of our addictions\, whether substance or process\, we all tend to really focus on the hardships of our lives\, our trials and tribulations and get stuck in the old comparison game\, comparing our insides to others outsides\, a line heard frequently in 12 step meetings. That’s probably a big reason why we drink\, use or act out. We get stuck in the unhealthy mental loop of “poor me”\, “why me” or “what’s wrong with me”…those “Greatest Hits of Addiction”\, right? We start to believe those stories\, we start to program these minds to constantly get hyper-focused on the difficult and painful. And we suffer. So\, with this practice of gratitude\, we can begin to rewire the mind to appreciate what is good and true and wholesome. This isn’t a make-believe practice. As the internet meme says “there’s ALWAYS something to be grateful for”. Let’s dive into this more\, practice with it and find some freedom.”

SUMMARY:Mindful of Race
DESCRIPTION:“Racism remains one of the most rooted and painful impasses of our time. It is fed through unawareness and the misuse of power. Embedded in racism is the skeletal shape of all oppressions. To understand the dynamics of racism and the flesh we put on its bones is to also understand other forms of oppression and our relationship to differences\, divisions\, and diversity. Too many of us want racial suffering to go away without first being touched by it or caring for it. Yet recognizing how we have been conditioned to think and react is at the heart of both racial distress and racial healing. In this introductory talk\, we discover how our inner life is reflected in the world through the Buddha’s teachings on Ultimate and Relative Reality and Distortion of Mind\, and the three truths we must remember but often forget.”

SUMMARY:Suffering and Happiness – Both are Present\, Embrace Them
DESCRIPTION:“Living Happily with things as they are (Drishta dharma sukha viharin) encourages an ancient Buddhist teaching. Those of us who have lived with addiction\, struggled with recovery and found our common bonds: trauma and toxic shame\, may find that teaching simplistic or even dismissive.As Buddhists\, we know that suffering is part of life. We accept that. Then\, right in the center of the Big Book of alcoholics anonymous (p 132) is a wonderful sentence: “We absolutely insist on enjoying life… we are not a glum lot”!How do we create a life that includes both suffering and happiness? Letting go!Gil Fronsdal writes: “Renunciation is one of the most beneficial\, empowering\, and freeing practices of Buddhism. As its purpose is to heighten the best qualities of our hearts and minds\, renunciation is not meant to diminish our lives but rather to enhance them. Abstaining from intoxicating drinks and drugs—the fifth ethical precept—is an important Buddhist practice.So\, we welcome suffering and delusion when they arise\, we notice them\, but we do not cling. We let them go and we acknowledge that happiness is also present.Not one\, not two.”
