Wednesday Night Dharma Talk and Meditation
One Wednesday of the Month, next date: September 3, 7:30 PM - 9 PM

September 3rd 2025 will be special guest visiting American Buddhist nuns from Sravasti Abbey!

We are honored to welcome Venerable Thubten Damcho and Venerable Thubten Dekyi from Sravasti Abbey in Washington state for a special evening of Dharma teachings and meditation on the timely topic: Compassion in the Modern World.

In our fast-paced, often divided world, how can we keep our hearts open and our actions kind? Drawing from the Tibetan Mahāyāna Buddhist tradition, the Venerables will explore how compassion is not only possible—but essential—amid today’s challenges.
Join us for this rare opportunity to sit with and learn from two fully ordained bhikshunis
