ONLINE PRACTICE AND TALK MEETING

2nd and 4th Sundays of the month

Ideal for beginners to the most veteran practitioners

Just attend, learn, and practice

Open to the general public

No experience necessary

Twice a month, we explore the core teachings and practices of Buddhism as a philosophy of life.  Our Practice & Talk meetings are a great way to learn about traditional Buddhism, for our 21st century context, in a nurturing, gentle, and systematic way.

Our Practice & Talk meeting is divided in a three main segments: Reflection, Meditation, and Talk & Discussion. The first segment of the Sunday morning practice focuses on a couple of standard and short Buddhist rituals like going for refuge and a reciting a responsive reading; the second segment stresses meditation practices, which include voice and sitting meditation plus sutra (scriptural) chanting; the third portion of the Practice & Talk meeting is devoted to an intellectual engagement with the teachings. During this segment, there is no lecturing or sermonizing; participation is important but not required.  The talk can be a discussion of a reading, a formal talk but it is always includes discussion and Q & A. The session becomes a learning experience for everyone including the teacher.
