Thursday, January 14, 7-9 pm. Sitting and Dharma Talk with Laura Rosenthal

“Views and Opinions: With Friends Like This Who Needs Enemies?”

According to the Pali suttas (discourses, or “sutras” in Sanskrit), the historical Buddha was asked to teach about many topics, including lofty questions about the nature of the universe – but refused. Why is this? And what can it teach us about a fruitful attitude toward practice? Join Laura Rosenthal, a long-time SIM participant and graduate of Spirit Rock’s Dedicated Practitioners Program, for a discussion of a few Buddhist texts that cast light on these questions.

This is the beginning of a SIM series highlighting some suttas we have found particularly meaningful.
