SANGHA ACTIVITIES
"Sangha" is a Pali word for the community of committed practitioners. Bringing
our practices of non-harming, non-judgmental awareness, kindness and compassion
to ourselves and our relationships is an important part of the practice.
The sangha gives us the opportunity and support to cultivate these qualities.
Current sangha activities include:
Book-Study/Practice Discussion Group
This is a peer-led book/practice discussion group that meets Sunday afternoons every four to six weeks. Participants discuss Buddhist concepts encountered in the reading and how they apply to practice in daily life.
The group is reading The Sound of Silence, by Ajahn Sumedho
Next Meeting: December 2
Because these discussions involve the application of the readings to daily life practice, this group is more appropriate for people who have already learned the basics and are practicing them off the cushion as well as on. But everyone is welcome.
For directions or for information call Helen Roehlke at (573) 446-0232 or E-mail: helenj-at-tranquility.net.
