**Drop in English Meditation Classes with Gen Kelsang Tonglam** **New series “Empathy & Emptiness” starts 7 April** **Tuesday 7:30pm – 9:00pm** **No booking required. Everyone welcome.** **Just as I wish to be free from suffering and experience only happiness, so do all other beings. In this respect, I am no different from any other being; we are all equal. \~ The New Meditation Handbook** **Our ability to let go of our self-centered view of the world and understand the experience of others, otherwise known as compassion, is fundamental to finding fulfillment and meaning in our life. Also Buddhist teachings on emptiness, the true nature of things, help us to dissolve the barrier between self and other that makes us feel isolated, independent, and separate from other living beings.** **Meditate on the extraordinary practice of exchanging self with others, that unifies emptiness and empathy, so as to experience this transformative wisdom in our heart. Join us for an enjoyable exploration of these ideas and gain practical tools on how to grow your experience of letting go of your ordinary sense of self—and embrace the warmth and joy of identifying with and connecting to others.** **7/4 There is No Gap** **14/4 Limitless Empathy** **5/5 Self as Other, Others as Self** **12/5 The Fearless Bodhisattva** **Donation is appreciated. Suggested donation: $50 per class.** **More info: https://www.meditation.hk/2021/en/meditation-advice-for-daily-life/** **#modernbuddhism #meditateinhongkong**

\*\*\*please register your session to attend\*\*\* Hi 👋🏼 Yogis I am yoga instructor Sophia. As a new yoga teacher (200 YTT certified), I’m excited to share the practice of stretching and Hatha Yoga with others, guiding you through mindful breath and purposeful movement. We’ll explore foundational poses, gentle alignment, and slow, steady stretches that honor your body's limits while inviting greater flexibility and balance. My intention is to create a supportive space where we practice together, learn from each other, and cultivate calm, focus, and presence both on and off the mat. Whether you’re new to yoga or returning after a pause, we’ll move at a comfortable pace, listen to our bodies, and celebrate small progress as we grow. FitFam is a welcoming community for fitness enthusiasts, including yoga lovers, to connect and make new friends, regardless of background or language.😇😁 The event is free. All you need to do is * Bring your own yoga mat * small towel to assist with stretching * wear comfortable outfit 🩷 We’ll meet at the wood deck by the waterfront of Tamar Park. Please look for the one right after passing the big lawn of Legislative Council Complex. Arrive a few minutes early, so we can greet each other and settle in before we start moving and breathing together. If you can’t find the location, feel free to text me or leave messages in the FitFam group 🩷 **Please pay attention to the weather, the FitFam WhatsApp group, and the event page.** In case of bad weather, the location may change to Central Pier 9 or 10.

**普及禪修課程 見道法師及善淨法師主講** **每堂課為獨立單元，不需報名，歡迎大家參加。** 「正如我想要離苦得樂，所有眾生也是這樣。以此觀點看來，我與眾生並無分別。」 《新禪修手冊》 我們有能力去放下自我中心的世界觀，以及體諒別人的經歷。這種能力又稱為慈悲心，對於我們在生命中尋找滿足與意義是至關重要的。此外，佛陀對空性 - 事物的真正本質的教學亦幫助我們化解自己與他人之間的隔閡，不讓我們感覺孤立、自我、跟其他眾生疏離。 修習自他相換這個不平凡的禪修，將空性和同理心互相結合，我們便會由心底經驗這種顛覆性的智慧。邀請你一起來探索這些想法，學習如何實際地提昇放下庸常自我的經驗，並且擁抱藉由跟他人產生共鳴和互通而帶來的溫暖和喜悅。 8/4 無盡的同理心 善淨法師主講 6/5 我為他、他為我 見道法師主講 13/5 無所畏懼的菩薩 善淨法師主講 歡迎大家隨喜功德，建議捐助：每課 $50。 地址：上環干諾道中122-124號海港商業大廈一樓（上環地鐵站C出口轉右，面對信德中心）。 歡迎現居海外的人士透過網上參與。直播費用：每課$50。視頻只可以在課堂舉行時觀看，不設重播。 詳情 ：https://www.meditation.hk/2021/wed_cgp/ #現代佛法 #禪修課程

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

5:45-7:45 in Conference Room B, Library lower level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there!

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
