The Dharma Bum Life Program is founded on principles known as the Six Perfections. These six principles (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, wisdom) when carried out in life provide the foundation for peace and happiness in every moment. This program will help you develop proper daily motivation, great compassion and impartial loving-kindness.
The practice of learning how to still the body, silence the speech, and calm the mind through meditation is one of great benefit. You will learn how to live a simple, beneficial and happy life through constant application of mindfulness. There will be lessons on how to live comfortably with little money, how to be mindful in regards to the environment, how to work with the homeless, how to redistribute food, how to lead meditation in the community and how to provide general community service where people are in need.
The Dharma Bum Life Program will consist of 18 group meetings at the Dharma Bum Temple, starting June 2nd and ending July 30th. We will be meeting every Tuesday and Thursday from 7-9pm. Program participants will also meet with their own small groups once a week to work on various projects.
