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 Dharma talks or panel conversations, breakout groups and participant discussions.

To explore and learn more about creating compassionate community, we offer a spiritual reading group now online (together) on the second Tuesday of each month.
We gather, sit for a few minutes, read to each other for 20-30 minutes from Through Forests of Every Color and then share in a discussion. Bring a cup of tea!

Awakening with Koans
Joan Sutherland
“In the beginning, the koans are teaching you how to have a relationship with them. They throw you back and forth between form and emptiness, until you’re completely off-balance. Then something relaxes, and you start to sway and flow with it, until eventually there’s no longer one side and another, just one whole world stretching in every direction.”
