SUMMARY:(Hybrid) Sit & Dharma Talk - Diane Wilde - The Art of Being Wrong
DESCRIPTION:For biographical details of the teacher Diane Wilde\, click here. \n\n\n\n\n* The teacher will present in-person at the Dharma Center.Hybrid events can be attended via Zoom or onsite at the Sacramento Dharma Center. \n\n\n\n\nBe honest.  How well do you accept criticism or an admonishment?  What is your response when an action you have taken\, or a view you hold is challenged by another?  or corrected? Have you ever investigated your physical and mental response when you have been in this situation?  \n\n\n\nAccording to Buddhist philosophy\, a critique of an action or belief which is contrary to your own could be of strategic benefit to you… if you are able to hear it. One of the Buddha’s most well-known senior monks\, Mahamoggallana\, offered guidance on this subject — enumerating the qualities of someone who can and cannot be admonished. Equally important\, how do we effectively offer another person a differing —and often challenging — point of view or advice. Will we endanger our relationship? Mahamoggallana’s reflections are as relevant today as they were 2\,600 years ago. \n\n\n\nOffer a Teacher Donation\n\n\n\nDiane Wilde will receive at least 75% of your donation. \n\n\n\nUse the following donate button and select the Thursday date Thu Feb 6 – Diane from the dropdown list. \n\n\n\n\nDONATE – Thu Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Attend Remotely\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin online meeting: https://zoom.us/join or join by phone at 1-669-900-6833( Meeting ID: 821 5948 5895 and Passcode: 927093)For tips and instructions to join the meeting\, click here to check this news blog.
