UPCOMING ZOOM EVENTS

June 17 - Meditation, Talk, and Discussion

This week, Bill Lyford will talk about The Twelve Nidanas and facilitate a discussion afterwards. This is one of the key concepts shared by all schools of Buddhism, describing the sequence by which "one thing leads to another" and we end up in a state of confusion and suffering.

Before the talk, we will begin with a few minutes of sitting, and do some tonglen practice together.
