Karunasara will facilitate the conclusion next week Feb 20th on the practice of the Four Brahma Viharas.
On Wednesday, Feb 27 Nancy will lead the evening celebrating Parinirvana Day … the death of the Buddha. Parinirvana Day is used to reflect on not only the Buddha’s death, but also on impermanence, and an opportunity to reflect on the fact of our own death and on people whom one has know who have recently died. Please check with Nancy if you would like to learn more or have questions.
