Daylong to be held on the land!

Open to: Self-identified Asian Americans

Description:
This daylong gathering offers an opportunity for people of Asian heritage to deepen their relationship to the Dharma in a supportive community. Anyone of Asian heritage (including Central, East, North, South, Southeast, and West Asian heritage) is warmly welcome to join.

Inspired by Rev. Liên’s book Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path and Chenxing’s book Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists, our daylong will weave together a range of teachings and practices. In addition to meditation, chanting, and other somatic and creative practices, there will be ample time for dyadic conversation and group sharing. Together, we will cultivate the possibility that “home is here, refuge is now.”
