Over the course of five distinct practice phases, we will engage with the text and one another, speaking the truth and listening deeply. Participants move from engagements with just the words of the text, then to the emotional resonances, it evokes. This leads to a cognitive investigation of the meaning, discernment of its essence, and finally, setting the text aside to engage in an exploration of present moment experience: how has this life been touched by the Buddha\u2019s words.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u2663<\/i><\/b> <b><i>Gregory Kramer -the Founder of Insight Dialogue and Dharma Contemplation Practices- will offer <\/i><\/b><b><i>a Dhamma talk on: \u201cThe Qualities of the Buddha and the Whole Life Path.\u201d<\/i><\/b><b><i> Then, there will be a space for Questions and Answers.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u2663<\/i><\/b><b><i> On the Insight Dialogue Practice<\/i><\/b><b><i>: Participants begin with a period of silent sitting meditation and are then invited into pairs or larger groups to practice together. Six meditation instructions \u2013 guidelines\u2014 form the core of Insight Dialogue practice: Pause, Relax, Open, Attune to Emergence, Listen Deeply, and Speak the Truth. The guidelines serve as the foundation for bringing meditative qualities of mind to the practice. In this way, relational contact and meditative qualities of the mind help bring root wisdom teachings into lived experience, here and now.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insightdialogue.org\/teachings\/basis-purpose-insight-dialgoue\/\"><b><i>https:\/\/insightdialogue.org\/teachings\/basis-purpose-insight-dialgoue\/<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><i>*<\/i><\/b><b><i>The Online Vesak Celebration Workshop is Open to Beginners as well as Experienced Insight Dialogue Practitioners.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>**<\/i><\/b><b><i>We wish that all the participants attend the complete DC and ID Workshop.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>***<\/i><\/b><b><i>If you wish to participate, please <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/yTBwCtBt5oDZ66k9A\">click here to register.\u00a0<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b><i>Dana\/Donations:<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><i>* You can support:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/donations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/donations\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhikkhuni.net\/dana-offerings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.bhikkhuni.net\/dana-offerings\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insightdialogue.org\/sangha-teachers-fund\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/insightdialogue.org\/sangha-teachers-fund\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6643 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vesak-Page-3-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vesak-Page-3-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samita.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Vesak-Page-3.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most Welcome to Join us on the Online Vesak Celebration Workshop\u00a0On May 30th, 2021:\u00a0 The Qualities of the Buddha and the Whole Life Path The Workshop will have An Introduction by Ven Vimala\u00a0 A Dhamma Contemplation Practice led by Bhante&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/2021\/04\/30\/vesak-celebration-workshop-on-may-30th-2021-online\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allgemein"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6653"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6654,"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6653\/revisions\/6654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samita.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
