In our Friday morning meetings, we focus on a different Dharma text every few months, and engage in informal discussions that offer opportunities to share the teachings with each other.
Every week begins with sitting and chanting a Buddhist well-being service, followed by a Dharma talk, and group discussions.
September & October 2025
The World Could Be Otherwise: Imagination and the Bodhisattva Path
by Norman Fischer
“Spiritual practice is one of the key sites of Imagination… It leaps from the known to the unknown, soaring beyond facts to visions and intensities… It plays in the deep end, where heart and love hold sway.”
For September 12, 2025, we’ll begin with reading and discussion of Chapter 1.
This is a book of Norman Fischer’s lovely everyday teachings on the wonders and insights experienced through practicing with Imagination as we study of Buddha’s Six Perfections (Paramitas) - Generosity, Ethical Conduct, Patience, Joyful Effort, Meditation and Understanding.
Reading Aloud Groups
In-Person 2nd Monday
Online 2nd Tuesday
3 – 4:30pm (PT)
To explore and learn more about creating compassionate community, we have recently added two once-a-month spiritual reading groups to our sangha practice.
One group will meet online. Another group will meet in person.
In both groups, we will gather, sit for a few minutes, read to each other for 20-30 minutes, and then share in a discussion. Bring a cup of tea!
