If we are fighting against the powers that be without the semblance of balance and love which connecting with the reality of our daily lives and the natural world around us brings—we will lose ourselves and our strength to go on. We must see the beauty around us and find a harmony. Gary Snyder told us to, “Save the world because you love it.” This is the wisdom to walk into creating change with. 🌸

Dear friends and LTMC community,

I’m pleased to announce that I will be teaching via Sangha Live, a global online platform for interactive dharma classes and courses, on Sunday, March 22.

I’ve been invited to lead their weekly, live “Sunday Sangha” program. This online class includes guided meditation, dharma talk, and an interactive Q&A, and is offered on dana/generosity-basis.

During this session, we will be exploring the topic of Introduction To Buddhist Psychology: “What Am I Doing In Here?”

The Four Noble Truths are a foundational practice that supports our ability to navigate the inevitable changes life presents. They offer insight and guidance. Mindfulness fosters compassion and paves the way for a deep dive into Buddhist Psychology. You will gain a better understanding, a reason for, and an application in everyday life of the practices that the Buddha taught.

The class is 1.5 hours long and begins at:

11am PT (L.A.) / 2pm ET (N.Y.) / 7pm GMT (London) / 8pm CET (Paris)
