Upcoming Schedule & Events


10/29/18 - Our Eight Week Study continues 
  • Week Seven: The Dharma: The many dimensions of the Dharma
  • Although the diversity and richness of the Dharma is a natural development of the Buddha’s teaching, it can still pose a problem for present day Buddhists.  We have easy access to a vast range of different teachings, aimed at many different levels of experience, and from many different schools, in a way that has never been the case for Buddhists in the past. How can we make sense of it all, let alone go for refuge to this confusing mass of practices and ideas?  At some point we need to stop trying out a bit of this and a bit of that, and start treading the ‘Path of Regular Steps’. We need to follow a coherent, progressive path of practice. This week we will consider what that means for each of us.

11/5/18 - Rebecca Li will join us and lead the practice of “just sitting”, or shikantaza, and I hope you can make plans to be with us that night!
