SUMMARY:Yogacara: a One-day Virtual Retreat\, led by Rev. Ben Connelly
DESCRIPTION:Yogacara: Integrating Personal and Social Healing and Liberation (online retreat)\nHow can we heal ourselves and our communities? How does our personal conduct\, wellness\, suffering\, and trauma\, relate to interpersonal and transpersonal systems? How can we give our lives to universal liberation without sacrificing our own well-being? These are the questions at the heart of Yogacara Buddhism\, which brings Early Buddhist and Mahayana practice into an integrated approach to joyful\, compassionate\, altruistic living.\nThis retreat will focus on the practices upheld in the Indian Yogacara master Vasubandhu’s Thirty Verses on Consciousness Only. We will move towards a deeper knowing of the fact that in every moment we are participating in the whole of the world in all its beauty and harms\, and that in every moment we can act for the liberation of all. \nBen Connelly is a Soto Zen teacher and Dharma heir in the Dainin Katagiri Roshi lineage. He also teaches mindfulness in a wide variety of secular contexts including police and corporate training\, correctional facilities\, and addiction recovery and wellness groups. Ben is based at Minnesota Zen Meditation Center and travels to teach across the United States. He lives in Minneapolis\, Minnesota. He is the author of: Inside the Grass Hut: Living Shitou’s Classic Zen Poem\, Inside Vasubandhu’s Yogacara: a Practitioner’s Guide\, and Mindfulness and Intimacy. \nThis event will be ONLINE ONLY via Zoom.  • REGISTER ON EVENTBRITE
