Buddhism in America
Buddhism in America The Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series The United States is the birthplace of religious pluralism, and the spiritual landscape of contemporary America is as varied and complex as that of any country in the world. The books in this new series, written by leading scholars for students and general readers alike, fall into two categories: some of these well-crafted, thought-provoking portraits of the country’s major religious groups describe and explain particular religious practices and rituals, beliefs, and major challenges facing a given community today. Others explore current themes and topics in American religion that cut across denominational lines. The texts are supplemented with care- fully selected photographs and artwork, annotated bibliographies, con- cise profiles of important individuals, and chronologies of major events. — Roman Catholicism in America Islam in America .

Just This Is It: Dongshan and the Practice of Suchness / Taigen Dan Leighton
“What a delight to have this thorough, wise, and deep work on the teaching of Zen Master Dongshan from the pen of Taigen Dan Leighton! As always, he relates his discussion of traditional Zen materials to contemporary social, ecological, and political issues, bringing up, among many others, Jack London, Lewis Carroll, echinoderms, and, of course, his beloved Bob Dylan. This is a must-have book for all serious students of Zen. It is an education in itself.” —Norman Fischer, author of Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong “A masterful exposition of the life and teachings of Chinese Chan master Dongshan, the ninth century founder of the Caodong school, later transmitted by Dōgen to Japan as the Sōtō sect. Leighton carefully examines in ways that are true to the traditional sources yet have a distinctively contemporary flavor a variety of material attributed to Dongshan. Leighton is masterful in weaving together specific approaches evoked through stories about and sayings by Dongshan to create a powerful and inspiring religious vision that is useful for students and researchers as well as practitioners of Zen. Through his thoughtful reflections, Leighton brings to light the panoramic approach to kōans characteristic of this lineage, including the works of Dōgen. This book also serves as a significant contribution to Dōgen studies, brilliantly explicating his views throughout.” —Steven Heine, author of Did Dōgen Go to China? What He Wrote and When He Wrote It “In his wonderful new book, Just This Is It, Buddhist scholar and teacher Taigen Dan Leighton launches a fresh inquiry into the Zen teachings of Dongshan, drawing new relevance from these ancient tales. -

It Really Brightens up Hearty Vegetables, Like Broccolini, and Something Magical Happens When It’S Combined with All That Sauteed Garlic
And thank you for the support! A zine is about the here and now. As I am typing this we are seven months into the pandemic. The restaurant has been open for a bit, mostly for delivery. We have a little outdoor seating, in the form of a few hijacked parking spots out front. There are tables up and down the block and people don’t mind much. That’s how things are now. The city is allowing some indoor dining, but we won’t be doing that any time soon. But let’s go back a few decades for the back back story... Since the 80s, I’ve been cooking vegan food in Brooklyn as a way to bring people together. In the form of feminist potlucks or hosting brunches at any of the two dozen apartments I’ve lived in all over the borough. Feeding people in the park through volunteer organizations, or at fur-free Friday in the 90s. Even just cooking some latkes for my family at Hannukah. Really, any opportunity to serve people vegan food and I’m in. So having a vegan restaurant in Brooklyn, just a few blocks from where my grandfather grew up actually, was a natural culmination of passion, community and a sense of duty. A few years ago, when I was well into my forties, I was lucky enough to partner with Sara and Erica, whose family also has had ties to the neighborhood for decades and who also just want everyone to eat vegan. Well, great! A meal is born.. -
Yoga and Seasonal Affective Disorder
Yoga and Seasonal Affective Disorder Oak Tree, Snowtorm by Ansel Adams Niki Ludington Prairie Yoga 200 Hour Foundation Teacher Training 2011-2012 0 The photographs of famed artist Ansel Adams are a breathtakingly beautiful tribute to nature and the seasons. His talent at capturing the mood of the gray winter months has made his work widely respected and popular. His photograph Oak Tree, Snowstorm printed on the title page of this thesis is an example of his work. Some people may look at the photo and be awed by the beauty and splendor of the gray shadows and snow. However, others may have a very different reaction. They may look at the photo and be reminded of the nightmare of depression, fatigue, lethargy, and hopelessness they feel each year during the winter months. These people may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder and the intent of this thesis is to explore how yoga can help them. What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of major depression that corresponds to seasonal changes during the year. People with SAD generally experience recurring depression beginning in late fall or early winter, which alternates with periods of a high or normal mood during the rest of the year. SAD is linked to the changing levels of light during the year. SAD is described as an “energy crisis” in which many physical and mental functions of the body are affected. Typical characteristics of SAD are: oversleeping or disturbed sleep, daytime fatigue, increased cravings for carbohydrates, weight gain, difficulty concentrating and processing information. -

Set against original musical collaborations by Anthony Fedorov and other artists, this inspirational new musical explores true stories of social justice, gender identity, race, immigration, and economic inequalities within the fabric of the American experience. #Hash(tag) America began as a concept album entitled Calling On You (co-produced by Anthony Fedorov and Grammy Award-winner Jeeve Ducornet) from a successfully funded 2016 Kickstarter campaign. Los Angeles will be treated to a concert version of the show first performed to a rousing audience and critical response at New York’s The Green Room 42. — MORE— AT CATALINA JAZZ CLUB IN HOLLYWOOD [Page 2] Joining Fedorov (American Idol, Rent), Isa Briones (Star Trek: Picard, Hamilton), and Eden Espinosa (Falsettos, Wicked, Rent) will be Kyle Carter (The Lion King, In the Heights), Christina Sajous (SpongeBob SquarePants, Spiderman, American Idiot), and Heath Saunders (Alice By Heart, Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on FOX). Said Fedorov, “In the wake of our current political climate and as an immigrant myself, I felt like I had to do something. I started writing songs about racism, gun violence, and discrimination, and creating a show that will hopefully bring people together in these difficult times. -

The program is experiential in nature but also includes power point slides and traditional classroom style instruction. -
Pain Management Center Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program
Pain Management Center Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program Home Practice Workbook: Awareness of Breathing Noticing the Physical Sensation of Breathing Locate where in your body you notice the physical sensation of breathing most prominently. That physical location will become the anchor point for your attention. Notice the sensations of the inhale, and then the exhale. Conscious Breathing Repeating silently to yourself: “Breathing in, I am aware I am breathing in. Breathing out, I am aware I am breathing out.” Counting the Breath Use silent labelling of the stages of the breath to help anchor attention. During the inhale, silently say “one.” During the exhale: “two.” During the next inhale: “three,” and so on, up to ten. Then return to one. If you lose your focus, return to one, without judging yourself! Candle Breathing Using the fingers of one hand as “five candles,” or perhaps just the index finger as “one candle,” imagine that you are systematically and gently blowing on the “flame,” but not so forcefully as to extinguish it. Continue, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth onto “the flame.” MP3 Links to Sitting Meditations (Additional files guided by Jon Kabat-Zinn sent via email) 45 minutes • (Florence) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/Guided_Sitting_Meditation_FMM.mp3 • (Lynn) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/Sitting_Meditation_Lynn_Koerbel.mp3 • (Bob) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/stahl/sitting-meditation.mp3 30 minutes • (Florence) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/Florence_Guided_Sitting_Meditation_30min.mp3 ©2014 Stanford Health Care Pain Management Center 1 Pain Management Center Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program Home Practice Workbook: Body Scan The Body Scan is intended to raise awareness of the body by using it as the focus for practicing mindfulness. -
For the Sake of the World Used As a Pattern for a Broader Based Prophetic and Mystical Commu Nity for Our World Today
THOMA S MERTON, PROPHET-PATR I CK EASTM AN 182 For the Sake of the World used as a pattern for a broader based prophetic and mystical commu nity for our world today. First, I will look at the basis for the monastic fuga mundi in terms of both the Christian and the Buddhist traditions. I will then indicate how that is manifested in the well-known figures PATRICK EASTMAN of the Christian monk, Thomas Merton, and the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh.These two figures I will suggest are models of the mystical and prophetic to inspire us today. We look first then to the Christian tradition. If we start with the gospels we can clearly see that the central message ofJesus is about a HESE TIMES HAVE BEEN described by some as the new axial age or "kingdom" which is essentially a "this world" reality.
