Nalandabodhi Vancouver’s Community Gathering is the last Sunday of the month. All are invited to this fine opportunity to meditate together, receive dharma instruction, share food, and enjoy one another’s company.
This month, our special presenter is Susan Gillis Chapman. Her topic is the three ways of deeply listening to fear with loving kindness. Susan will include short teachings from the practice of mindful communication and the view of relating to a time of uncertainty as a bardo practice.
Newcomers are especially welcome. Check us out!
Sunday Schedule
Doors open at 9:45 am. Practice begins at 10 am til 11:30. Then we’ll do a quick sweep/dust/vacuum of the centre, followed by a yummy vegetarian potluck lunch (12 noon til 1 pmish).
Come for all or part of the program. No need to pre-register.
