Responding to Harm - Half Day Retreat Online and In Person
We are so grateful to be able to offer monthly half-day retreats focused on teachings from 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.
In 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.”
John Bruna, will facilitate meditation, study, and discussion on Chapter 14, Skillfully Responding to Harmful Speech. 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.
