SUMMARY:Embracing Adversity – Half-Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Adversity – Half-Day Retreat\nDecember 15th – Online and In Person in Gunnison\, CO\nWe are excited that our December Heroic Heart retreat will be hosted by the Here and Now Center in Gunnison\, Colorado! The topic will be Embracing Adversity\, chapter 12 of The Heroic Heart\, a commentary on the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva\, by Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo. These are truly precious and timely teachings for our current times. \n“Just as the archetypal hero possesses the heart to face trials and tribulations for the sake of helping others\, the bodhisattva has a remarkable resolve to free others from suffering so that all may achieve true happiness and awakening. Through each challenge\, the Buddhist hero of compassion develops rich inner qualities that empower them to be of true benefit to others. \nIn The Heroic Heart\, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo\, an esteemed spiritual teacher with a lifetime of experience\, illuminates the heart of Mahayana Buddhism—bodhichitta—describing it as “the selfless expression of boundless compassion.” Jetsunma uses as a touchstone the famous Tibetan Buddhist text The Thirty-Seven Verses on the Practice of a Bodhisattva. Here\, she reveals how to become such a compassionate hero\, the bodhisattva in training\, and helps us to face the uncertain tides of the world\, however joyful or dangerous\, with a deep wish to find meaning and uncover the ultimate heart of wisdom and compassion.” \nJohn Bruna teaching at the Durango Dharma Center\nEach month our spiritual director\, John Bruna\, will facilitate meditation\, study\, and discussion on one of the topics from this precious text. The retreat will be both in-person and online and will consist of three sessions that are approximately fifty minutes long with a short break in between sessions. As usual\, John will be donating his time and the retreat is offered on a free-will donation basis. All donations will go to the Way of Compassion Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nRetreat Details\n\n\nDate and Time: Sunday\, December 15th\, 2024.\nLocation: Here and Now Center\, 115 S.
