This week’s theme: Let Your Heart Grow Fat With Friendliness: Metta Matters

Now is the time to strengthen the heart, to commit every day to doing more good and less harm. Fully engaging life with its inherent joys and sorrows, opportunities and limitations, successes and failures is no small task, and the Dharma offers timeless wisdom and practical guidance for these times. Join us as we take a close look at the Metta Sutta, the Buddha’s teachings on loving-kindness.
