Sakyadhita Women's Group - "Daughters of the Buddha"

1st Fridays - 7:30pm to 9:00pm
Location: Khandro Ling, Natomas CA

Lion's Roar Sakyadhita is open to all women with the desire to study or simply explore the Dharma. Currently, to compliment Gen Damchoe's Monday night teachings, we are gathering to review and discuss "The Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life" by Shantideva.

The evening begins with traditional Buddhist prayers, recitation of Tara's mantra OM TARE TU TARE TURE SOHA, followed by a sitting meditation session and group discussion of the text. In follow-up to Gen Damchoe's Monday night teachings, we approach this vital Buddhist text in round-robbin style..usually covering 8-10 stanza in a session. The purpose for this process is to uncover any areas of confusion in our understandings. Our questions are then taken back to Gen Damchoe for further explanation at one of his Monday night teachings.

The Buddha taught the Dharma as a guide for us to train our body, speech and mind to become compassionate beings. The intention is to apply the teachings (Dharma) in our 'daily' lived experiences. We are a lively women's group who approach tough Dharma topics with authenticity and quite often fill the room with laughter as we see ourselves in each others' struggles, recognising we are not unique in our lived experiences.

First time visitors, as well as long time practitioners, are equally welcome to attend.

For address, directions and more information please contact Venerable Tenzin Yeshe at tenzinyeshe@hotmail.com or call 916.548.7452.
