The Buddha’s insight that all things arise dependent on something else points to a universe in ongoing relational flow. When experienced directly, we know this flow to be love. Together we will open to receive the many ways we are touched by life through our connections to each other and the Earth, our ancestors and spirit guides, and our own Buddha nature. Through this practice we will experience the deepest message of sangha: that we are not alone. Please bring a pen and paper.
