Standing Monthly Events (Our weekly schedule is further down this page)

  • Introduction to Buddhism

    First Monday of each month - 7:00 PM at EBS Center.      Next meeting Monday, June, 2nd - 7:00 PM at EBS Center. (There is no Intro to Buddhism in January, July or September) This is an excellent starting place for people with little or no knowledge about Buddhism. One of our members will present some history of Buddhism and talk about the different traditions of practice. Meditation technique is also covered. This is very informal and questions are welcomed.

 

  • Open Board Meeting

    Second Monday of each month - 6 PM at EBS Center    . Members are welcome to attend open board meetings and follow the business of the Society. If anyone wants to bring business before the Board, arrangements should be made prior to the meeting to be on the agenda.

 

  • Children's Program

    Third Sunday of the month at 4:00 pm at EBS Center We sit in a circle and start by breathing with the bell, walking together and then listen to a story read from a Buddhist children's book. Then we share fresh fruit, serve in a tea ceremony style, and introduce ourselves and share mindful conversation, using bows to begin and end. Contact Steve Evans (email) or 663-1882

 

  • Nyingma

    • Yeshe Tsogyal study group

    First Wednesday of the month at 7:00 PM at EBS Center. A practice and discussion group under the direction of Lama Yeshe Wangmo dedicated to the wisdom dakini Yeshe Tsogyal.
