Dharma talk for December 15th

Welcome to our Sunday Morning meditation and discussion group. We are a peer led group that meets each Sunday at 10 am in the lower level of McFarland House, 716 Queen St., east side entrance. We sit together in silent meditation for about 30 minutes followed by a talk and discussion. Everyone present is invited to join in.

This week, we will listen to a talk by Greg Scharf: Javana Hamsa – The Swift Swan
“This talk uses an interpretation of a Jataka Story as an introduction to the reflection on opening to impermanence on the path of awakening.”

Please note we do not have a teacher. Each session is opened and facilitated by a member of the guiding collective. However, everyone who is present is equally qualified and welcome to speak about the dharma and their practice.

This session will be facilitated by Andrea Grzesina.

Please note that the west entrance is open for anyone who has difficulty with the stairs on the east side. Just knock.
