Theravada, Zen and Vajrayana Together with Bob McClure - Please share this free and special class!Have you ever wondered what it would be like to bring together elements of Theravada, Zen and Vajrayana Buddhism? This is what Shinzen Young has done with an emphasis on traditional Vipassana meditation. Shinzen was originally ordained in Japan as a monk in the Shingon (Japanese Vajrayana) tradition. He has adapted the central Buddhist concept of the five skandhas into modern language, grouped them into sensory categories and developed an extensive system of meditation techniques for working with those categories individually and in combinations. Young developed what he calls Unified Mindfulness to share these teachings.
Dharma Bum Temple’s dear friend Bob McClure was trained in this practice and will be leading a six-week course starting Wednesday June 5th at 7pm. You may drop in any week and you are welcome to attend all six weeks. This program is designed to empower you with practical tools and techniques to navigate life’s challenges with grace and resilience. Learn basic principles and practices blending traditional Buddhist mindfulness techniques with modern insights for a holistic approach to well-being. This program will cover the following topics: why practice mindfulness, what is mindfulness, how to practice meditation, mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of thoughts and emotions and taking our practice into our lives.
Bob McClure is a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator and instructor at UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center and a Certified Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) teacher for Stanford University Center for Compassion, Altruism, Research and Education (CCARE). Recently retired, Bob was a Human Resources Consultant and Manager of the Employee Assistance Program at Sharp HealthCare where he also taught mindfulness and compassion skills to healthcare professionals.
Class is in person at the Dharma Bum Temple and will also be streamed live via YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thedharmabumtemple
