Our sangha uses meditation practice and group discussion combined with study groups and individual studies to weave spiritual practice and compassionate action into daily life.
A weekly group meets Wednesday evenings from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. After 45 minutes of meditation, various aspects of Buddhist teachings are discussed. The study group is open to everyone. The meetings are held in-person and via zoom.
We begin at 7pm with a 45 minute silent meditation (sometimes there will be a guided one) and at around 7:50pm we will begin a dharma talk. Usually there is time for Q&A at the end.
All levels of practitioners, including absolute beginners, are welcome to attend. Support is available if you have questions. This weekly sangha gathering is hybrid with both online and in-person attendance available. Please see the logistics info below the schedule.
November 11th — Lezlie Laws: “I Am Not The Doer.”
From Lezlie: In the last four months, I have taken a deep dive into teachings on the Buddhist notion of non-self. In studying this concept, I have used traditional tools of research, reading, and synthesizing the challenging content. In my talk this Wednesday I will take a different approach to this rich subject. Instead of summarizing the thoughts of scholars and professional teachers, I will show what is taking shape in my mind, mostly as a result of the deepening of my practice. I return to my past life as a student, teacher, and practitioner of the art of memoir and present a personal essay entitled “I Am Not The Doer.”
7:00-8:45 Silent meditation.
8:50-8:30 “I Am Not the Doer”
8:30-9:45 Q&A
