Nectar of the Path is a complete practice encompassing all of the essential aspects of a traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice. In this practice we mix contemplation and meditation\, alternating periods of each and chanting in Tibetan and some visualization. \nIf you are interested in joining this practice group\, or have questions\, please send an email to bozemantergarsmd@gmail.com  and tell us your interest\, how you learned about us\, if you are new to Nectar or have experience with the practice…. .  Information on the practice\, the practice liturgy\, and the zoom link will be sent to you.  \n\nLearn more about Tergar International!

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:Kindhearted Awareness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:BIC Drop-In Meditation\nMeeting Our Lives with Kindhearted Awareness\nTuesdays\n10:30  – 11:30 AM\nLed by Suzanne Colón\n\nvia Zoom\n \nThis program shares the meditation practices that expand our capacity to meet life with an open\, stable heart-mind. Guided meditations will vary week to week\, providing an opportunity to try new practices and ways of working with life’s challenges. The four heart qualities known as the Brahma Viharas (Noble Abodes) will be cultivated with variations on ways to evoke and develop them: Kindness\, Compassion\, Joy and Equanimity. \nProgram Schedule: \n10:25 – Zoom Room Opens\n10:30 – 10:55 – Guided Meditation\nCollective Sharing of Delights or Difficulties\nShort Reading: Guidance in the Buddhist Practices of the Heart\nDiscussion until 11:30 \nFollowing the guided meditation\, we’ll give each other the opportunity to connect\, to be supported in times of difficulty\, and be witnessed in times of joy. 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. This is a program of the Bozeman Insight Community (BIC)\, offered to the entire Dharma Center community and general public.

SUMMARY:Mindful Creativity: Cards of Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Creativity\nCards of Compassion\nwith Michãel Palmer\nSunday\, August 11\n1:30-3:30 PM\nIn person only\n \nCultivate your capacity for compassion using collage and paint. Because art can offer a way of exploring things that troubles us and allows us to practice getting to a non-judging place\, it can be a useful way to grow compassion. \nCompassion begins when we can accept all aspects of a person\, letting go of judgment and recognizing the universality of the human condition. Using collage and paint\, we will compassionately explore something troubling us. It could be different aspects of ourselves: what we like to present and what we prefer not to show in public; it could be a strained relationship\, it could be trying to have compassion for a friend… you decide what you would like to work on (although we suggest that you start small). We will explore our feelings on postcard size paper and write messages of compassion and encouragement on them. \nSpace is limited. All materials included. Please pre-register so that we can set up the space accordingly. \n \nAbout Our Mindful Creativity Classes\nThe BDC Mindful Creativity classes offer creative ways to explore the teachings of the Buddha. Using arts\, crafts and/or writing methods\, facilitators from our community will lead creative activities with the purpose of expressing the wisdom\, inspiration and compassion of the Dharma. \nYou do not have to practice Buddhism or have prior experience with the art form to join; everyone is welcome. \nThere will be a suggested sliding scale fee which includes registration and materials costs for every meeting; scholarships are available on request. \nSample Meeting\n● Welcome/introduction\n● Meditation (10-20 minutes)\n● Introduction to creative activity.\n● Creative activity\n● Group sharing on the experience of practice or the reading\n● Clean up\n● Short closing sit and Dedication of Merit \nBackground on Creativity and Buddhism\nCreativity\, innovation and imagination have been part of the Buddhist tradition since the first century BCE when the oral tradition of Theravada evolved into the narrative sutras of the Pali Canon etched into palm leaves. Statues of Buddha were created in the 3rd century Pyu period of Burma. The Dunhuang caves of China revealed a multicultural collection of 5th century Buddhist manuscripts and mural paintings. Tibetans have created thangkas and mandalas for 1\,300 years inspiring the practice of Vajrayana Buddhism. The history of Zen in Japan is replete with poems\, drawings\, paintings and books based on Buddhist themes. Modern western Buddhism is currently producing art\, in all its forms\, as an exploration of the Buddha’s teachings. Our Mindful Creativity Group will continue this tradition. \nInterested in Facilitating?\nOut of respect for the Buddha’s teachings\, the integrity of the presentations will be carefully reviewed. For important information regarding the criteria to facilitate\, the facilitator’s role\, class structure\, and for the application form please click here.

In this practice we mix contemplation and meditation\, alternating periods of each and chanting in Tibetan and some visualization. \nIf you are interested in joining this practice group\, or have questions\, please send an email to bozemantergarsmd@gmail.com  and tell us your interest\, how you learned about us\, if you are new to Nectar or have experience with the practice…. .  Information on the practice\, the practice liturgy\, and the zoom link will be sent to you.  \n\nLearn more about Tergar International!
