SUMMARY:Online: What's Vedanā Got to Do With It?
DESCRIPTION:Online: What’s Vedanā Got to Do With It?\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMondays\, April 1st – May 13th (skip April 29th)\, 2024  | 9:30am-11:30am ET\n \n\n \nVedanā refers to the immediate feeling tone of pleasant\, unpleasant\, or neutral that arises in every moment of contact.  The Buddha emphasized the importance of being mindful of vedanā\, as it is a key link in Dependent Arising and the generation of suffering or liberation. \nAnd yet\, as poet Tom Hennen wrote: “But usually [these moments] just pass\, mostly unnoticed\, unless they are wildly nice\, like autumn ones full of red maple trees and hazy sunlight\, or if they are grimly awful ones in a winter blizzard that kills the lost traveler and bunches of cattle.” \nIn this course we will investigate our personal experience of vedanā\, the role it plays in fueling craving and aversion\, and the deeply ethical implications it has for our views\, biases\, and motivations for harm. \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.  Circle of Friends members eligible for 20% discount with code. Click here to join. \n***Subsidized Base: Made possible by the generosity of Benefactor Level above and other donations to ensure participation by those requiring financial assistance.\n \nIf you have questions about your registration (cancellation policy\, membership discount\, email confirmation\, etc.)\, please read our FAQs. If your question is not addressed in the FAQs\, please email registration@nyimc.org. \nIf you are unable to pay the Subsidized Base Fee\, you can learn about volunteering to offer work exchange and letting us know how much you are able to pay for this program by emailing registration@nyimc.org. \nPlease note that New York Insight records online programs. The recorded content may be discoverable should a legal matter arise. \nBy registering\, I give New York Insight permission to use my text/video/audio for educational or other purposes for the duration of New York Insight activities going forward. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact registration@nyimc.org. \n

SUMMARY:Online: Truthfulness - A course for the LGBTQIA+ and Allied Community
DESCRIPTION:Online: Truthfulness – A course for the LGBTQIA+ and Allied Community \nwith Wildecy de Fátima Jury and Gayah (Imani) Gillson\nThursdays\, April 4th – 25th\, 2024 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET \n“I have a duty to speak the truth as I see it and share not just my triumphs\, not just the things that felt good\, but the pain\, the intense\, often unmitigated pain. It is important to share how I know survival is survival and not just a walk through the rain.” ― Audre Lorde \n“… Where you find Truth\nIs where you find your reflection\nAnd where you find your reflection\nIs where you find love… “ – Suzy Kassem. \nTruthfulness (sacca in Pali) helps us to free the mind from distortion\, tunnel vision\, and detrimental social constructs and paradigms. As LGBTQIA+ people and allies we might internalize these false beliefs that limit our capacity to really be our full selves. Exploring the power of truthfulness\, and cultivating its essence proudly\, yields clarity\, acceptance\, freedom and love. \nThis course is offered for those who practice or are curious about the sacred energy of the Buddhadharma. Beginners are welcome. You might not know anyone when you start this course\, but by the end you will create connections or make new kalyana mitta\, spiritual friends. This course will be greatly relational. By attending\, you will be a lotus flower for the others attending. Even your intention and effort to show up is an accomplished dedication of merit. \nThis will be a safe and supportive space with lots of tenderness and opportunities for reflection and interactions. We will contemplate the purpose\, blessedness\, and magnificence of cultivating truthfulness in our lives and all the gifts that truthfulness offers us. We will meditate\, chant\, write\, make art\, have dialogue\, and move together. The intention is to examine these teachings with humor\, fun\, and in a relaxed manner. \nFor those planning to attend\, before registering\, please\, ask yourself if you are committed to attending all four sessions and to have your video cameras on the entire time\, except during meditation and breaks. \n\n \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.

SUMMARY:Online: Introduction to the Four Noble Truths
DESCRIPTION:Online: Introduction to the Four Noble Truths\n \nwith Amy Selzer and Nancy Glimm\n \nSaturdays\, April 6th – 27th\, 2024 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET\n \n\n  \nWe all know that being human comes with all different degrees of suffering\, stress\, disappointment\, pain\, joy\, happiness\, pleasant and unpleasant experiences.  \nWhat we often forget is that we have a choice to deepen our experiences of joy and lessen our experiences of dukkha (or suffering\, unsatisfactoriness\, stress). \nThis choice is the essence of the Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths: There is dukkha\, there is a cause of it\, there is the cessation of it\, and there is a Path of developing qualities that lead to its cessation.  \nIn this four-week class we will look at the truth of our experiences\, and practice how these truths can move us toward more skillful choices and contentment. \nTogether we will meditate\, hear dharma talks\, have engaging group discussions and break-out rooms\, and have assignments and homework.  \nThroughout the course\, you will be encouraged to investigate your experiences through the lens of the Four Noble Truths and you will discover that by just recognizing these truths when they arise\, there is an experience of freedom and peace.  \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.
