Online Sangha
These morning meditations are not organized by the SFBC, but by members of Triratna Sanghas in the Western Region of the US and Canada who volunteer to open zoom and ring bells so that people living far from a center can still meditate together. They welcome people from anywhere in the world if the time works!
Donations
Donations help cover the cost of the zoom account (currently $182). Payments can be made through the SFBC in a number of ways, shown here.
