SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is invited to join a discussion group focused on Reb Anderson’s new book\, Entering the Mind of Buddha\, Zen and the Six Heroic Practices of Bodhisattvas. \nWe will meet over a period of six weeks via Zoom\, beginning Tuesday April 14 from 4-5 pm. There are many sources for the book including Amazon\, Kindle\, Nook\, Barnes and Noble\, Penguin and others. Instead of reading an entire chapter aloud (as we do in our  Thursday study group)\, we will ask people to read a meaningful (to them) excerpt from the chapter\, and then ask questions or make a comment. \n  \nTo enroll in this group\, contact Sarah O’Gara\,  sarah_ogara@yahoo.com or  (916) 484-6808.  If do not have a copy of the text please inform the organizer that you will audit the course rather than actively participate. \n\n\nFirst\, download the  Zoom Client for Meetings software.(13 MB)\nGet the Meeting ID Number from Sarah.\nIf you prefer to join by telephone\, call 669 900 6833 and follow the prompts for entering the meeting ID number.

SUMMARY:Buddhist Women Ancestors - Tea & Conversation with Wendy Garling
DESCRIPTION:Join us for tea and conversation with special guest: Wendy Garling\, author of Stars at Dawn: Forgotten Stories of Women in the Buddha’s Life.  \nWendy Garling has taught women’s spirituality focusing on Buddhist traditions for more than 20 years. She has a BA from Wellesley College and MA in Sanskrit language and literature from the University of California\, Berkeley. A Tibetan Buddhist practitioner and authorized dharma teacher\, she took refuge with His Holiness the 16th Karmapa in 1976 and began lifelong studies with His Holiness the Dalai Lama after their first meeting in Dharamsala\, India in 1979. At that time she also met the late Venerable Geshe Acharya Thubten Loden who became her principal teacher. \n\nOur study group meets on the third Thursday of every month from 9 am-10:30 am. The group is open to all sanghas and genders – to anyone who is interested in studying the Dharma through the lives and teachings of Buddhist women.  Linda Dekker and Susan Farrar will facilitate. \nSome resources we use are: \n\nThe Hidden Lamp\, edited by Florence Caplow & Susan Moon\nStars at Dawn: Forgotten Stories of Women in the Buddha’s Life\, by Wendy Garling\nWomen of Wisdom\, by Lama Tsultrim Allione\nBeing Bodies: Buddhist Women on the Paradox of Embodiment\, edited by Lenore\nFriedman & Susan Moon
