We are so easily tossed about and scattered by the eight worldly winds:
pleasure and pain
praise and blame
fame and disrepute
gain and loss
These are pairs of opposites: we are attracted to one, repelled by the other, leaving us vulnerable to life's changing and uncontrollable conditions. Perhaps we can learn a skillful means to navigate these blowing forces. Join us for a Friday evening and Saturday daylong with Karunadhammo Bhikkhu, from Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery in Ukiah, CA.
Teacher: Ajahn Karuṇadhammo was born in North Carolina in 1955. He was trained as a nurse and moved to Seattle in his early twenties where he came in contact with the Theravada tradition. In 1992 he helped out with a monastic visit to the Bay Area and spent two months serving a winter retreat at AmarÄvati. Ajahn Karuṇadhammo made the decision to ordain while visiting Thailand in 1995. He asked if he could be part of the prospective California monastery (the then unnamed Abhayagiri) and was was part of the original group arriving at Abhayagiri on June 1, 1996. After training for two years as an AnÄgÄrika and SÄmaṇera, he took full Bhikkhu ordination in May, 1998 with Ajahn Pasanno as his preceptor.
