Sharing the Dharma Day
with the Sravasti Abbey Community

The day includes a guided meditation (no experience necessary!), a Dharma talk, vegetarian potluck lunch (no garlic or onions, please), and facilitated group discussion. All are welcomed.

Topics are drawn from the book, Working With Anger, by Abbey founder and abbess Ven. Thubten Chodron.
