Thursday, September 1, 7-9 pm. Sitting and Dharma Talk with Diane Wilde, SIM Community Mentor.

How do we know that we are acting appropriately?

Buddhist practice is not a set of black and white rules.  Just as in life, situations are nuanced, fluid with different strategies for situations, which on the surface, might seem to be similar. Should we always tell the truth when asked?  Should we report what we perceive is a harmful act?  Do we always disengage from others who we feel are unskillful or don’t share our opinions?  Examples abound.  Bring your own thoughts and experiences on this topic Thursday night as we look at a variety of life situations with wisdom AND compassion. We are all in this realm of samsara, attempting to cause as little harm to ourselves and others as possible.  There is a reason why Sangha is the third refuge.
