Having spent decades immersed in study\, practice\, and teaching in the fields of addiction and recovery and Buddhism\, John’s wisdom on this topic has helped guide countless people on their paths toward healing from addiction of all kinds. \nKey Topics Covered: \n\nUnderstanding the Dopamine Cycle – How our modern culture fuels compulsive behaviors and emotional distress.\nMindfulness and Self-Awareness – Practical tools to recognize addictive patterns and regain control.\nThe Power of Intentional Living – Aligning daily habits with values to cultivate meaning and purpose.\nEmbracing Healthy Discomfort – How resilience\, discipline\, and moderation contribute to lasting happiness.\nPractical Strategies for Well-Being – Ethical and mindful practices for greater focus\, connection\, and peace of mind.\n\nJohn will offer insights\, reflections\, and actionable steps to help participants shift from unconscious habits to mindful choices. Whether you’re struggling with digital distractions\, addictive habits\, or simply seeking more balance in your life\, these skills provide a path to reclaim your attention\, well-being\, and sense of purpose. \nWe forward to seeing you this Saturday!

SUMMARY:Tibetan New Year (Losar) Vajrasattva Practice
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate and Purify – In Person and Online\nYear of the Wood Snake\nFriday\, February 27th\n6:00 PM (Mountain Time) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nLosar (Tibetan New Year) is the biggest holiday in Tibet. During this time\, we can take the opportunity to close out the old year and bid goodbye to all the past negativities. We also take time to welcome the new year and inviting all beneficial and auspicious things into our lives. This event is a particularly powerful time for practice. The Way of Compassion Dharma Center will be hosting a Vajrasattva event on Friday\, February 27th. \nIn honor of this precious event\, we will be hosting an in person and online Vajrasattva practice of purification at 6 pm Mountain Time. \n\nVajrasattva\n\n“Vajrasattva practice is so important generally\, and especially nowadays in the world when there is not only global warming but many other problems. There are so many other dangers—of war and sicknesses\, cancer\, and so many people whom you know are dying. There are so many sicknesses and other conditions for dying. \nThis Vajrasattva practice and other purification practices are the ultimate answer\, so everything in the world—what you see\, every situation—tells you to practice Vajrasattva. To purify and do Vajrasattva practice is the ultimate answer\, to stop the cause to be reborn in the lower realms and the immediate [result] is to have a higher rebirth\, to make preparation for death and then to meet the Dharma\, to meet the virtuous friend who reveals the path to enlightenment. Then to achieve ultimate happiness\, to be free from samsara and to achieve enlightenment for the numberless sentient beings and to free them from the oceans of samsaric sufferings and bring them to full enlightenment.” – Lama Zopa Rinpoche \nHere is the Zoom link to participate – Losar Celebration and Purification Practice. \nHere is a link to download the practice – WOC Prayers Handout. \nIf you would like to make a donation\, you may do so securely\, using the donation button below. \nDonate\n\n\n\n\n
