What's Ripening

Upcoming sangha activities this week (1/18/21 - 1/24/21)

Thank you to Karlen for guiding the dharma discussion on Monday to prepare us better for the sutra study materials this week. Also, thank you Linda for helping with Wednesday morning sit.

​

Wednesday night sutra study at 7pm PST, we will focus on awareness of the mind. Please watch the video lecture, guided meditations, a practice guide, and suggested readings. Our live session on Wednesday will focus on discussion of these materials, and you are invited to explore them in the meantime and come to sutra study with questions and reflections in mind.
