ONLINE SANGHA GATHERING
Thursday, 6pm-7pm Pacific Time
The Online Sangha is our original online gathering service for people who cannot visit a local Dharma Center for whatever reason. This is one way of supporting our Sangha community. Online services uses ZOOM so you can access us from virtually anywhere and from any device so please join us for a sutra recitation and Hoza.
Online Sangha provides a safe place to share your thoughts through the Rissho Kosei-kai practice of Hoza or Dharma circle discussion. Dharma circles are opportunities for members to gather together and share their innermost thoughts, from worries and suffering, to joys and happiness, learning to see things through the eye of the Buddha and discover a way of life based on the Buddha's teachings.
Let's deepen our understanding of the Dharma through the practice of Rissho Kosei-kai. Come join us and see what we are about. Everyone is welcome!
