Interpreted Talks

Saturdays, 7am - 8:30am PST
online

A live interpretation of Thay's dharma talks from Vietnamese into English. The talks are from past winter retreats, tours, core teachings, and history of Buddhism courses. Saturday mornings can be a time feel fresh and be immersed in Thay’s energy and wisdom. Currently we are studying the Heart of the Buddha’s teaching series.

Listening to a dharma talk is a pleasant practice. These talks water the seeds of understanding and love in our heart and grow our ability to accept, forgive and let go, so we can feel our body and mind lighter and at ease and we can know how to act in a way that can transform the state of our body and mind as well as the situation.

Chanting, silent or guided meditation and readings. On Monday, we set the intention for our practice and check in at the end of the week with the witness and support of the community.
