This Sunday, Ejo will discuss the importance of deliberately turning toward practice and the many opportunities Buddha Eye Temple is offering this fall.

Community Circles are small groups of individuals exploring their lives and experiences through sharing, compassionate listening, and the unfolding of the Dharma. Unlike classes, community circles will focus primarily on the sharing of personal reflection from the participants, facilitated by a senior practitioner or teacher.

Ceremonies mark our lives as gateways. This Fall, Buddha Eye Temple and its community will enact the very important "Mountain Seat" Ceremony, which will include a variety of special events. Known as "Shinzanshiki," the Mountain Seat Ceremony is very unique in the life of a Teacher and a Temple, but it also reminds us of the all-pervasive nature of Awakening.

EcoDharma encompasses efforts by Sangha members and our larger community to bring together their spiritual practice with learning and action on environmental and climate change issues.
