Sangha Nights in July and August: the Healing Power of Meditation
Wednesdays, 7pm to 9pm, in person and on zoom
Dhyana Paramita – the Perfection of Meditation
True meditation is not about escaping reality but becoming fully present to it. It is about seeing things as they truly are and responding with wisdom and love. ~ Sangharakshita
We don’t meditate to become good at meditation; we meditate to become more awake, more alive, more free. ~ Vessantara
Continuing our Wednesday night theme – Hearts that Heal – in July and August we will focus on the power of meditation to tranform and heal.
July 2 and 9: Prasadachitta
July 16, 23 and 30 tbd
August 6, 13 tbd
August 20: Join us to witness as 5 people become mitras. When someone becomes a Mitra at the SFBC, they are publicly declaring, in a ritual context, that they are a Buddhist. It’s a very moving and significant event for both those becoming Mitras and also for those witnessing. Join in this uplifting ceremony.
August 27: tbd
Everyone is welcome to Sangha Night
