Free. Open to all. Donations are welcome.
Please wear modest attire that covers the knees and shoulders inside the Buddha Hall.
We all want to live in a kinder, more compassionate world. But how do we actually cultivate compassion—and put it into action in the midst of everyday life?
Join Venerable Thubten Chonyi and Venerable Thubten Dekyi, Buddhist nuns from Sravasti Abbey, for an evening exploring practical ways to strengthen compassion within ourselves and bring it into our relationships, our communities, and the challenges we encounter every day.
Compassion is not simply something we either have or don’t have. It is a capacity we can cultivate. Through Buddhist teachings, reflection, and conversation, Ven. Chonyi and Ven. Dekyi will share ways to develop the qualities that help us meet difficult times with greater kindness, joy, resilience, and an open heart.
