SUMMARY:Online: Living With Appreciation - A Three Week Course
DESCRIPTION:Online: Living With Appreciation – A Three Week Course\n \nwith Bodhipaksa\n \nRevised Dates: Tuesdays\, December 5th – 19th\, 2023 | 7:00pm – 8:30pm ET\n \n\n \nA grateful and appreciative life is a happy life. \nOn this three-evening workshop series we’ll explore the art of seeking what’s wholesome in ourselves and others—even in those we dislike or even hate. \nThe traditional Buddhist term for recognizing and appreciating the skillful qualities and actions is mudita. This is one of the “four divine abidings” of the Buddhist tradition\, following on from kindness and compassion. Mudita is not simply “being happy because others are happy\,” but rejoicing in the skillful qualities that give rise to peace and joy in the world. It’s “joyful appreciation.” To have mudita is to be appreciative. \nLiving with appreciation has long been seen as one of the most important factors in creating happiness and well-being\, and modern psychology agrees. \nThrough talks\, reflection\, and meditation\, we’ll explore how to recognize the skillful even when we find that hard. We’ll see how we can overcome the cynical approach of always finding the flaws in others. We’ll look at how we can support and encourage the arising of skillful qualities in ourselves and others. And we’ll see how admiration leads to emulation. \nPerhaps most importantly\, we’ll experience the benefits of appreciating skillful qualities in ourselves and others\, and how it is the single most important way for us to bring joy and peace into our own lives and into the world. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels. Members of our Circle of Friends are eligible to receive 20% off of the Sustaining Rate via a code provided in the email confirming membership\, which you can enter after clicking the Sustaining Level registration. \n*Benefactor Level: Supports NYI’s ability to offer the Subsidized Base. \n**Sustaining Level: This level reflects the actual costs to support this program.
