Refugio, descanso y compasión: un dia en comunidad Latinx

sábado, 9 marzo 2024, 10am-2pm tiempo pacifico, en persona y por Zoom

Con Margarita Loinaz y Melvin Escobar

 

Tomar refugio en las Tres Joyas es una de las prácticas fundamentales del Budismo. Durante este día tendremos la oportunidad de brillar estas joyas (que también se llaman los Tres Tesoros: Buda, Dharma y Sangha). El sentir este apoyo en comunidad nos da la oportunidad de descansar profundamente, guiándonos sobre el sendero que lleva a la liberación y compasión.

 

Refuge, Rest, and Compassion: a daylong for the Latinx community

Saturday, March 9th, 2024

10am-2pm PST, Hybrid-Zoom

With Margarita Loinaz and Melvin Escobar

Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is one of the most fundamental practices in Buddhism. During our day together, we will have the opportunity to shine these three jewels (which are also known as the Three Treasures: Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). Experiencing the support of spiritual community offers us the opportunity to rest deeply, guiding us along the path that leads to liberation and compassion.
