We live in difficult, transitional times. The most reliable and stabilizing we can do is to deepen our meditation practice, opening our hearts to others and to our ever changing lives. 

Love and Compassion in Challenging Times is an online course led by Diane Musho Hamilton and Caty Hartung. The course will engage Zen Buddhist and Tibetan teachings and practices for opening the heart. It will also use contemporary methods such as active listening to support our practice in relationships, at work, and in the world. 

We will study Zen’s activity of bodhisattvas, and the six perfections of Mahayana Buddhism: generosity, morality (meaningful behavior), patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom. We will also look into the four kinds of love: love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. We will engage the practices of sitting meditation, loving-kindness, tonglen (giving and receiving), and Loving-Eyes. 

Each class will include small group breakout sessions, practices, and homework. The live calls will be recorded and distributed weekly to course participants.

Now is the time for you to deepen your practice in a culture of like-minded seekers and practitioners who understand the challenges that we all face at this time. Please join us. 

This 10-week online course will be easeful and accessible. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit yourself and others.

Diane began her studies at Naropa University in 1983 with Choygam Trungpa Rinpoche, and became a Zen student of Genpo Dennis Merzel Roshi in 1997. In 2003, she received ordination as a Zen monk and received dharma transmission in 2006.

CATY HARTUNG is an Integral Buddhist coach drawing from a unique 35-year background in Buddhism and her rich life experience as a cosmopolitan. Born in Germany, she began her university studies of French, pedagogy, and physical education in 1984, at the same time when her curiosity grew for Buddhist meditation.

In 1991, Caty’s Buddhist teacher, Lama Ole Nydahl, asked her to help him, while traveling together around the world. She soon took a leading role in developing his international network, known as Diamond Way Buddhism. In the 25 years of their intense cooperation, the organization grew to over six hundred meditation centers.
