Sangha Announcements & News

Dharma Talk Series

For the following Sundays during the summer, on Sunday morning Fajian will give a consecutive series of Dharma talks on "No Attachment to Dust", Zengetsu's advice to his students.

   

Learn About the Buddhist Precepts

While taking the Precepts may not be important to some, for others they are a commitment to a mindful life. Though you may not understand all details about what it means to take the Precepts, a class can offer some insights and lead to better discernment. The structure of guidance under the direction of a master and of being part of a Sangha have always been the foundation for a focused, balanced and stable spiritual path. Please join us at the next Precept class: Friday, August 10, at 6 PM. The event will be followed by a get-together with refreshments for those who would like to stay.
