Right View, Wise View, Beautiful View, No View - Say What??
Right View, Wise View, Beautiful View, No View
The beloved teacher Dipa Ma offered Ten Lessons to Live By, drawn from a lifetime of immersion in the Dharma. The last of these lessons is "It's a Circular Path."
How true this is. The more you practice meditation and weave it fully into the fabric of daily life, the more wisdom naturally unfolds. You think you've arrived at an end — only to discover it's simply a new beginning.
In this short, intensive 4-session class, you will explore the first factor of the Noble Eightfold Path: Right View. What is Right View, really? And how does your understanding of it deepen and shift as practice matures?
You may grasp it intellectually — but do you truly know it? Has it taken root in the body, in your choices, in how you move through the world?
Perhaps, with time and practice, the view itself becomes so thoroughly lived that it ceases to exist as a view at all. It simply becomes who you are.
Each class will involve guided meditation, a a short dharma talk and discussion,
Participants should have completed at least an Insight 101 class and have a basic understanding of the Four Noble Truths.

Cultivating Joy and Grace in Uncertainty
Can we live with uncertainty, not from a place of fear but from a place of buoyancy, curiosity and ease? How can the teachings provide practical ways of coping with these various threats? How can we cultivate joy in uncertainty, instead of battling it in the doomed hope of clinging to certainties that ultimately will not last? Uncertainty itself is utterly certain – and this can be a refuge.
Watering the Seeds of Forgiveness
This intensive class, held in a supportive and nurturing environment, will explore the nature of resentment and aversion we may have toward ourselves and others as a result of past actions. Through self-compassion and forgiveness, we can learn to let go of these harmful feelings, allowing our innate kindness to shine through.
