SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion Group About the Exploring\, Sharing\, and Practice of Buddhist Process-Relational Thought \n\n\n\nAt face value\, the Buddha’s Dharma and Whitehead’s Process Philosophy seem to characterize reality in very different ways\, and for different reasons. The Buddha taught that reality as we typically experience it is an impermanent\, selfless and dissatisfying process of cyclic becoming continuously powered by compulsive attachment and aversion grounded in delusion. The Buddha prescribed various methods we could deploy in order to go beyond this painful and immiserated condition\, methods which involve thorough analysis and deconstruction of our habituated and self-limiting assumptions about ourselves and the world as well as means of cultivating more purified states of awareness and embodiment so that we can awaken to the way things really are and unleash our core potential. \nWhitehead elaborated a systematic philosophical scheme\, replete with foundational metaphysical categories\, that reconstructs reality as a cumulative process of concrescence whereby many diverse feelings creatively synthesize into a novel experience\, aiming towards satisfaction and lured to completion through divine persuasion. For Whitehead\, many of the issues in philosophy and society at large could be traced to various fallacious conceptions concerning nature\, language\, and experience which he sought to rectify with his panexperiential\, process-relational Philosophy of Organism. \n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Readings on Faiths: Bright Circle
DESCRIPTION:A Book Group Exploring the Diversity of Religion \n\n\n\nReadings on Faiths Around the World is a book group that reads and discusses books covering the vast diversity of world faiths. Of course\, the standard seven world religions will be included but we will also explore less well-known religious/spiritual groups. The only prerequisite needed for this group is a desire to learn more about the world’s religious traditions. \nOur next book is Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Women in the Age of Transcendentalism\, by Randall Fuller. Bright Circle presents the stories of five extraordinary women who challenged the culture norms of nineteenth-century America and more specifically of New England.  Although all were closely connected through marriage\, family\, or friendship with male transcendentalists only two were actually part of the male dominated group. Yet\, all five\, in their own way\, wrote\, discussed\, and participated in transcendentalist’s ideas and experiments. Several of the women were involved in the abolitionist movement (before many of the men); some were active in the establishment of communal living experiments; and of course\, the many were active in the Women’s Rights Movement. \n\nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations: Dōgen and Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:A Six-Session Conversation on Zen and Process Philosophy \nToday\, many spiritual seekers are drawn to the writings of the thirteenth-century Zen master Dōgen. Rooted in the Sōtō Zen tradition\, Dōgen’s reflections on time\, awakening\, body and mind\, compassion\, nature\, and everyday practice inspire readers across religious and philosophical traditions. They are especially drawn to his emphasis on zazen\, or Zen meditation\, as an anchor for awakening in everyday life and for living in the world with wisdom and compassion. \nMany seekers are also drawn to the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. His philosophy offers a vision of lived experience as consisting of moments in which the many of the universe become one in the immediacy of experience itself; an understanding that all moments are “present in” others even as they remain discrete; and a portrayal of the universe as a vast network of interdependent becomings\, each possessing value and worthy of respect and care. These seekers sense that there is something “Buddhist” about Whitehead’s thought and perhaps also something “Whiteheadian” about Dōgen’s Zen. \nThis series brings these two visions into conversation. Using The Essential Dōgen(opens in new tab)\, edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt\, each of the six online sessions will feature a selected passage from the book\, a Whiteheadian commentary by Jay McDaniel\, a response from Sōtō Zen priest Shōryū Bradley\, and open discussion among all participants. \n\n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations: Dōgen and Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:A Six-Session Conversation on Zen and Process Philosophy \nToday\, many spiritual seekers are drawn to the writings of the thirteenth-century Zen master Dōgen. Rooted in the Sōtō Zen tradition\, Dōgen’s reflections on time\, awakening\, body and mind\, compassion\, nature\, and everyday practice inspire readers across religious and philosophical traditions. They are especially drawn to his emphasis on zazen\, or Zen meditation\, as an anchor for awakening in everyday life and for living in the world with wisdom and compassion. \nMany seekers are also drawn to the process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. His philosophy offers a vision of lived experience as consisting of moments in which the many of the universe become one in the immediacy of experience itself; an understanding that all moments are “present in” others even as they remain discrete; and a portrayal of the universe as a vast network of interdependent becomings\, each possessing value and worthy of respect and care. These seekers sense that there is something “Buddhist” about Whitehead’s thought and perhaps also something “Whiteheadian” about Dōgen’s Zen. \nThis series brings these two visions into conversation. Using The Essential Dōgen(opens in new tab)\, edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi and Peter Levitt\, each of the six online sessions will feature a selected passage from the book\, a Whiteheadian commentary by Jay McDaniel\, a response from Sōtō Zen priest Shōryū Bradley\, and open discussion among all participants. \n\n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL

SUMMARY:Buddhist Process Explorations
DESCRIPTION:A Discussion Group About the Exploring\, Sharing\, and Practice of Buddhist Process-Relational Thought \n\n\n\nAt face value\, the Buddha’s Dharma and Whitehead’s Process Philosophy seem to characterize reality in very different ways\, and for different reasons. The Buddha taught that reality as we typically experience it is an impermanent\, selfless and dissatisfying process of cyclic becoming continuously powered by compulsive attachment and aversion grounded in delusion. The Buddha prescribed various methods we could deploy in order to go beyond this painful and immiserated condition\, methods which involve thorough analysis and deconstruction of our habituated and self-limiting assumptions about ourselves and the world as well as means of cultivating more purified states of awareness and embodiment so that we can awaken to the way things really are and unleash our core potential. \nWhitehead elaborated a systematic philosophical scheme\, replete with foundational metaphysical categories\, that reconstructs reality as a cumulative process of concrescence whereby many diverse feelings creatively synthesize into a novel experience\, aiming towards satisfaction and lured to completion through divine persuasion. For Whitehead\, many of the issues in philosophy and society at large could be traced to various fallacious conceptions concerning nature\, language\, and experience which he sought to rectify with his panexperiential\, process-relational Philosophy of Organism. \n  \nLEARN MORE & ENROLL
