ILR590 Living Beautifully with Uncertainty
and Change
4 sessions, 8 hours
We live in difficult times with uncertainty. Why shouldn’t we cling
to familiar patterns and habits if they provide us some degree of
certainty? Because, as Pema Chodron teaches, that kind of fear-based
clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience
of being completely alive. The teachings presented in this course,
known as the three commitments, which are based on the original
teachings of the Buddha, provide a path to enter more fully into one’s
life through meditation exercises. The true purpose of meditation
is to be present in one’s life more fully, being present on the dot
rather than being riveted according to one’s hopes and fears. It is
about being open to whatever arises in one’s life. It is only by fully
living in the present that one can truly live one’s life. Each week
during the class students will have the opportunity to introduce a
new commitment in their life. Meditation practice between classes is
highly encouraged.
Instructor: Dr. Jerry Webster presently serves as the Shastri, or
head teacher, with the Shambhala Buddhist Meditation Center in
Washington, D.C.. He obtained his Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction
from the University of Maryland and has taught literature there
and multiculturalism for Montgomery County Public Schools. Dr.
Webster’s 40 years of teaching experience began with the Peace
Corps in Afghanistan. He currently teaches this course and others at
Johns Hopkins University.
