2022 Sangha Study - Schedule

This program is an invitation to follow in the footsteps of Shantideva and all the great Bodhisattva masters who’ve walked this path of courage and love for the benefit of all beings. 
  • Follow along with the reading assignments outlined in the schedule below.
  • See our Chapter One Resources page to inspire your personal study.
  • Read the Commitment Chapter to inspire personal practice. Download a copy for daily recitation.
  • Be sure to watch for program updates in our newsletter.
  • Bring your insights and questions to our Saturday discussions, or simply show up with a curious mind, open heart and interest in listening and growing. We realize reading and reflection time is not realistic for everyone. Your presence is always welcome!
Program sessions will take place during our regular Saturday morning practice schedule, which runs from 10:00-11:30 AM. The schedule will be updated throughout the year.

See our full calendar of practices and events. We will be offering day long meditation retreats on 4/9, 5/7, 6/4. These retreats will be supportive to our Bodhisattva training. Details will be announced in coming months.
“Compassion, a sense of caring, thinking about others’ welfare. That sort of attitude brings me inner peace. It has defined the purpose of my life.”
— 14th Dalai Lama
