SUMMARY:Effortless Mindfulness – author Lisa Dale Miller
DESCRIPTION:Effortless Mindfulness: Genuine Mental Health Through Awakened Presence\nby Lisa Dale Miller\nPublished by Routledge April 2014 \nThe event will include meditation and the author’s talk. \n \n7:30-9:00 Evening Program includes meditation and a talk. \n9:00-9:30 Reception with tea and treats. \nEffortless Mindfulness promotes genuine mental health through the direct experience of awakened presence—an effortlessly embodied\, fearless understanding of and interaction with the way things truly are. The book offers a uniquely modern Buddhist psychological understanding of mental health disorders through a scholarly\, yet clinically useful presentation of Theravada\, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist teachings and practices. Written specifically for Western psychotherapeutic professionals\, the book brings together traditional Buddhist theory and contemporary psycho-neuro-bio-social research to describe the conditioned and unconditioned mind. This in-depth exploration of Buddhist psychology includes complete instructions for psychotherapists in authentic yet clinically appropriate Buddhist mindfulness/heartfulness practices and Buddhist psychological inquiry skills. The book also features interviews with an esteemed collection of Buddhist teachers\, scholars\, meditation researchers and Buddhist-inspired clinicians. \nIn his foreword to the book Ron Siegel\, PhD wrote\, “In the pages that follow\, Lisa Dale Miller takes us on an integrative adventure\, exploring the intersection of ancient Buddhist teachings with modern neurobiology and clinical research and practice. While the work of many pioneers have facilitated the integration of mindfulness practices into health care and society by intentionally extracting them from their Buddhist roots\, this book offers a different service: it looks unflinchingly at Buddhist understandings of the origins of human suffering and how various meditative techniques were designed to alleviate this suffering by fostering a radical psychological liberation.” \nAnam Thubten Rinpoche wrote in his foreword\, “You will find that the scholarship and many years of meditation practice of the author are reflected on every page.  It is intellectually satisfying and also serves as a rich contemplative guide for mindfulness meditation and Buddhism in general. No matter what your background might be\, as scholar\, meditator or seeker\, you will find many valuable insights in this work. It is such a joy to see Lisa’s gift in presenting many essential Buddhist thoughts in contemporary language and making them come alive.” \nEffortless Mindfulness is available through Amazon\, B&N\, iTunes\, etc.\, in digital and paperback editions.\nPlease visit www.awakenedpresence.com for more information about the book.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Great Disciples of the Buddha
DESCRIPTION:Great Disciples: People and Personalities in the Buddha’s Community\nA six-week lecture series \nThe early Buddhist sangha included some accomplished and intriguing disciples—lay and monastic\, male and female. By searching the literature of the Pali Canon\, contemporary scholars have been able to compile biographical information\, infer personality traits\, and gain a vivid sense of the human relationships and life-stories that formed the earliest Buddhist community. \nThis Tuesday Evening Speaker Series will explore the lives\, practice\, and teachings of several of the great disciples of the Buddha. The series will illuminate both the ordinary and the extraordinary contributions of some of the most interesting personalities whose questions\, challenges\, and life situations shaped the teachings that we cherish today. \n\nSeptember 12—Angulimala: An Ethical Transformation\, with Shaila Catherine\nSeptember 19—Ananda: The Man with the Questions\, with Thanissaro Bhikkhu\nSeptember 26—Anathapindika: A Generous and Devoted Lay Follower\, with Ed Haertel\nOctober 3—Kisa Gotami: Buddha’s Deep Compassion Toward Women\, with Ayya Santussika\nOctober 10—Rahula: Son of Buddha\, with Margaret Gainer\nOctober 17—Mahakaccana: Clarifying the Most Cryptic Teachings\, with Shaila Catherine\n\nPlease visit our Teachers Page for biographies and photos of our speakers. \n\nThis group meets every Tuesday evening for a sitting and Dhamma talk in Mountain View. The principal teacher is Shaila Catherine and guest speakers are featured regularly. Thematic series are periodically presented\, but whether or not a topic has been advertised in advance\, Shaila or a guest teacher will lead the sitting and offer teachings. See also weekly sitting. \nNewcomers are welcome. To help newcomers get acquainted with mindfulness meditation and IMSB\, a senior member or teacher offers a beginner’s orientation beginning at 6:30 on the first Tuesday of each month. Insight Meditation South Bay offers a weekly meditation group on Tuesdays in Mountain View\, classes on Thursdays in San Jose/Saratoga\, monthly day longs\, and additional programs such as sutta studies and retreats. \nIMSB relies upon the generosity of participants to support our teachers and cover organizational expenses. Dana is a word in the ancient Pali language that describes donations\, offerings and generosity. Two bowls will be available at an event to practice dana for the teacher and IMSB; we encourage you to give joyfully and generously\, according to your resources and means. IMSB is a 501(c) (3) organization. All donations are tax deductible as permitted by law.
