SUMMARY:Mindfulness and the Addiction Economy with Dave Smith
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nThursday\, March 27 6:30-8 PM\nMindfulness is everywhere\, everyone seems to know what it means and maybe that’s the problem. While mindfulness maintains deep roots in the Buddhist tradition\, like many things it has been watered down by the mainstream and is close to ruin. While our devices have become weapons of mass distraction\, the attention economy is over\, we lost\, welcome to the addiction economy. Everyone is addicted\, we all know it\, but few will admit it\, yet we all seem to accept it. Turning inward and taking an honest look at our pain and dissatisfaction and coming to terms with what fuels are addiction is our only hope. This is accomplished through the development of mindfulness. Therefore\, mindfulness is the means\, not the end. \nDuring the evening session\, Dave will offer perspectives on how to use our mindfulness as skillfully as we can! All Welcome!

SUMMARY:Waking Up & Growing Up: A Transformational Weekend with Diane Musho Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 28: 7-8:30 &\nSaturday\, March 29: 9AM – 4:30 PM \nDiscover the two most life-changing paths you can embark on—Waking Up and Growing Up. \nWaking Up is the profound experience of awakening to your essential nature\, known across mystical traditions as Enlightenment\, Cosmic Consciousness\, or Unity Awareness. This transformational state has inspired countless seekers in traditions like Buddhism\, Hinduism\, Sufism\, and Christian mysticism. \nEqually essential yet often overlooked is Growing Up\, the journey of personal evolution through the developmental stages of life—from infancy to adulthood and beyond. Research shows that Growing Up is key to cultivating emotional maturity\, resilience\, and meaningful relationships. \nBut what if you could explore both paths in one integrated experience? \nThis extraordinary weekend offers just that. Under the expert guidance of Diane Musho Hamilton—a Zen teacher and dedicated student of Ken Wilber for over two decades—you will explore: \nWaking Up Practices\n\nMeditation to still the Mind\nBig Mind to discover Boundlessness\nTechniques to Open the Heart\n\nGrowing Up Tools\n\nRecognizing and transforming defensive patterns\nSelf-regulating your nervous system for resilience\nCultivating emotional maturity and interpersonal skills\n\nThis unique workshop weaves together the wisdom of Zen and developmental psychology to help you unlock profound\, lasting transformation in your life. \nWhether you’re seeking recognition of your true nature or practical skills to navigate relationships and life’s complexities\, this weekend offers tools\, insights\, and practices you need to make real\, meaningful change. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to awaken\, grow\, and contribute. Scholarships available. Registration option for Friday night only is available. Registering for Saturday includes the Friday night talk. \n \nAbout the Teacher\nDiane Musho Hamilton began her study of Buddhism under Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche in 1983\, before receiving ordination as a Zen monk\, from Genpo Merzel Roshi\, in 2003. Genpo Roshi is a successor of Taizan Maezumi Roshi. \nIn 2006\, Diane received Shiho\, Dharma Transmission\, from Genpo Roshi\, and she received Inka\, the Final Seal of Approval\, in 2018 from Sidney Musai Walter Roshi\, a successor of Genpo Roshi.

Guided meditations will vary week to week\, providing an opportunity to try new practices and ways of working with life’s challenges.

The collective “Sharing of Delights or Difficulties” is formal practice of briefly naming a sorrow or difficulty\, a joy or delight\, and having the group witness and resonate with each other’s experience. \nNo prior meditation experience is needed to attend this program. Please make every effort to arrive by 10:30. \nThis program is offered freely\, which means this is a gift to the community\, and you are encouraged to pay the gift forward to help cover costs to the degree that you can.

SUMMARY:Pali Canon Study Group
DESCRIPTION:Pali Canon Study Group\nTuesdays 1:15-2:15 PM\nIn person and via Zoom\nAlthough Bozeman Dharma Center houses groups from multiple lineages\, one thing we all have in common is a reliance on the teachings of the Buddha. The Pali Canon is recognized as the earliest written record of the Buddha’s teachings\, given before the Buddhist community divided into different schools. This peer-led study group will begin by tackling readings from the Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha. You do not need to own the book to participate and do not need to commit to attending every week. Already having a practice and familiarity with the Dharma will be helpful. \nBasic Schedule\n1:15 Short sit\n1:30 Read portion of Pali Canon with discussion afterward\n2:15 Close

SUMMARY:Bozeman Insight Community
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, 6:30 – 8:00 pm\nIn person and via Zoom \nBozeman Insight Community (BIC) is a welcoming community that offers the Buddha’s priceless teachings on wisdom and compassion to all those who seek them. Centered on a commitment to personal practice  we support the development and expression of our inherent wisdom  and compassion for the benefit of all beings. \nThe program usually begins with a short teaching to introduce the practice and provide some instruction. Then there is a lightly-guided 30-minute meditation\, followed by tea\, Q&A\, and discussion. We open and close the evening with short chants\, which are provided and completely optional. \nAll are warmly welcome to drop in and join us. No prior experience necessary. If you’d like to talk to one of the leaders prior to attending for the first time\, please email us and we’ll connect. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our sangha. \nWhen in person\, service dogs\, lap babies and school-age children are welcome. There are places in the room and nearby where kids can hang out or do homework. Parents can relax about any disturbance this may cause – our community is not fussy about meditation rooms being super silent (ambient noise is a chance to practice with the conditions and cultivate equanimity). We’d rather have you with us than strive for “perfect” conditions (which don’t exist). \nBIC Leadership\nCouncil Member – Sandy Kindt\nCouncil Member – Megan Higgs\nCouncil Member – Marilyn Raffensperger \nFor leader and council member bios\, more information about this group\, and to see program updates\, please click this link to go to the BIC’s website.

SUMMARY:Koans with Michael Smith
DESCRIPTION:Koans can show up in multiple ways. They can be healing stories\, conversations\, poems\, fragments of song. Technically\, koan is a Japanese term that refers to a legal public case. In Zen\, koans are designed to give us pause\, to enter deeply our own “case”\, revealing how we look at the world.  During several short periods of meditation\, we will sit with a koan in the form of a phrase\, a story\, or a poem. There will be walking meditation and time after each koan to consider together. All are welcome\, no previous experience with koans is necessary. Offered by the Bozeman Zen Group and Michael Smith.
