Engage

We practice a path that leads to the end of suffering with the recognition that this release actually happens in the midst of samsara. In other words, our path requires interaction with people and the world, and specifically engagement with and through the sangha. We offer many ways to do this:

• Membership, which is about a sense of belonging, is a mutual recognition by the sangha and an individual of their involvement through one of the following: (1) attendance and participation in sangha practice; (2) taking on a volunteer role; (3) making a financial donation. If you would like to become a member, please go through the simple process;
• We offer many ways to participate in and support the health of the sangha through volunteering;
• We have an active community service program which both focuses on specific local areas of needs and provides an opportunity for sangha members with their friends and family to engage in the liberative practice of compassion with their fellow sangha members;
• Receiving the precepts, which our Guiding Teacher offers on a roughly annual basis, is a traditional way of making a vow and commitment to oneself, witnessed and supported by the sangha, to live a life of virtue that is supportive of relieving the suffering of self and other.
