Day Course in June - Buddhism in the Real World



About the Course
The winds of social and political change never seem strong enough to blow away the persistent and seemingly intractable challenges that living beings experience in this world. If, however, we face these challenges squarely, and look at the causes of strife with intelligence and common sense, the ignorance that leads to cruelty, oppression and violence will be abandoned.

In this course, we will look at Buddha’s insights into human nature and explore his breathtaking vision of a world free from misery. Now is the time to end the cycle of suffering produced by people and replace it with sustained clarity, wisdom, empathy and enjoyment.

Fundraising Garage Sale and Pizza Social – Great Success!!

Lots of laughs, great weather, a bit of hard work, and some tasty pizza made for a fun and satisfying day of raising funds for the Dharma Center. And we did it! We raised all the funds needed to send our teacher to Summer Fesitval in England to see Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Very auspicious! A thousand thanks to all who contributed, it was a blast.
