SUMMARY:Film: "States of Grace"
DESCRIPTION:This screening of States of Grace: a Journey of Loss\, Resilience and Renewal is sponsored by Sacramento Dharma Center. It is a film about the recovery of Dr. Grace Dammann\, a resident of Green Gulch Farm Zen Center\, following a devastating head-on collision on the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a deeply personal film that depicts the inner and outer struggles that are the result of a life suddenly and radically changed. That this is the life of a woman living and practicing in a Buddhist residential community gives the film an added dimension: how does someone in a wheelchair enact her Bodhisattva vow to save all beings?\nGrace Dammann and Mark Lippman\, one of the filmmakers\, will be present for Q & A after the show.\nOnline ticket sales only.  TICKETS WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE DOOR. \nStates of Grace website.
