Weekly Zoom Link


On Monday evening, we'll begin the New Year with the practice of "renewel" (Tib. Sojong). With the help of this beautiful practice we can shed light on and leave behind the patterns and habits that get in the way of realizing our aspirations. In doing so, we renew our commitment to the path of awakening. This wonderful practice reminds us and reconnects us with what is most important in our lives. Please join in!


All are welcome to come at 6:15 for tea and conversation


Here is the recording of last week's teaching.

Contemplation of the Week - Appreciative Living


This week, as soon as you wake up in the morning, take just a minute or two to bring to mind what you appreciate about your life. Bring to mind a few of the many wonderful things in your life that support you, enrich you, and delight you. It could be as simple as appreciating that you have another day. You could appreciate your soft bed, your cozy home, your family, friends, and teachers. Appreciation lights up our lives and is a constant reminder of how extraordinarily fortunate we are to have been born.
