About the Film
This holiday season, we invite you to gather with the Sangha for a special screening of The Muppet Christmas Carol! This beloved adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, brought to life by the whimsical charm of the Muppets, weaves humor, music, and heartfelt lessons into a timeless story of transformation and compassion.
At its core, A Christmas Carol is a story of awakening. Ebenezer Scrooge’s journey from greed and isolation to generosity and connection mirrors themes found in the Dhamma: the impermanence of all things, the power of self-reflection, and the liberation found in opening one’s heart to others. Through the humor and warmth of the Muppets, the film invites us to reflect on our own capacity for change and kindness in daily life.
Whether you’re familiar with the story or experiencing it for the first time, this film offers a joyful reminder of the potential for goodness and generosity that resides within us all. Come and enjoy an evening of laughter, community, and contemplation with your fellow practitioners.
