SUMMARY:Holding Steady in Turbulent Times: Buddhist Tools for Cultivating Equanimity
DESCRIPTION:We all face difficult situations at one point or another in life\, but we do not all respond the same. Equanimity may be one of the most critical life skills\, and one of the most undervalued. The ability to keep our head in a crisis\, to keep our balance when surrounded by upheaval and to keep our cool when tempers around us flare up—according to Buddhist understanding\, these are not qualities that some people have while others do not\, but are aptitudes that anyone can develop. Buddhist teachings offer an abundance of tools for developing this key element for flourishing as human beings. \nThe equanimity cultivated in Buddhist practices is a way of engaging actively with the messiness of life\, and is very far from turning away in indifference or with apathy. This talk will explore strategies that can be employed by anyone wanting to learn how to develop this essential life skill. \nThe talk will be delivered directly in Spanish for our Latinx community and simultaneous translation will be provided into English. Bring your headphones and make sure your phone has an FM radio app downloaded. \nEcuánime ante las situaciones difíciles. Estrategias budistas  \nAunque todxs afrontamos situaciones difíciles en la vida\, no todxs respondemos de manera parecida. La ecuanimidad es una habilidad esencial en la vida\, y una de las más infravaloradas. La capacidad de mantener la cabeza en una crisis\, guardar el equilibrio cuando estamos rodeados de agitación y mantener la calma cuando los ánimos a nuestro alrededor estallan; según la comprensión budista\, estas no son cualidades que algunas personas tienen y otras no\, sino que son aptitudes que cualquiera puede desarrollar. Las enseñanzas budistas ofrecen una gran cantidad de herramientas para desarrollar este elemento clave para prosperar como seres humanos. \nEn las prácticas budistas\, la ecuanimidad se cultiva como una forma activa de relacionarse con lo que surja en la vida cotidiana llena de ajetreo\, y está muy lejos de la indiferencia o la apatía. Esta conferencia explorará estrategias que pueden ser empleadas por cualquier persona que desee aprender a desarrollar esta habilidad clave. \nLa conferencia será en español\, con traducción simultánea al inglés para gente de habla inglesa que asistan presencialmente a la conferencia en Chicago. \nTo join virtually: https://www.youtube.com/user/faceBuda \nDamcho Diana Finnegan is co-founder of Dharmadatta Community\, a Spanish-speaking intentional Buddhist community. Her PhD thesis explored gender in Buddhist narratives\, and she is working on a book on Buddhist practice centering the experience of women. She is an ally of survivors\, and is committed to working to eliminate the conditions that make abuse so common in Tibetan Buddhist communities.
