Come to the All-Sangha Fall Gathering to see friends and hear an update about the state of Insight Santa Cruz. Bob will also offer some reflections on maintaining equanimity and an open heart during the upcoming national election. All are welcome. Please join us.
Uposatha is the occasion to bring up and integrate wholesome qualities so they become felt realities in the mind and heart. Refer to the Mangala Sutta (Sutta Nipata 2:4) for topics of cultivation that give rise to skillful states and conditions.
Uposatha days are times in the Buddhist calendar established for people to step back from daily chores and reflect upon the broader meaning of life, whether they’re living in harmony with the cosmos. Recollect our uniquely human potential to bring forth virtue, lovingkindness and wisdom into this world.
