Universal Sangha
Sit & Dharma Talk with Visiting Teacher Sue Taylor
- Talk Handout in (.pdf): Universal Sangha – The nature of our interconnectivity
Informed by readings in the Nikayas, we will explore our interconnectedness toward the celebration of a “universal sangha”— embracing biodiversity, human diversity, and the many ways Buddhist practices/ traditions hold foundational space for a more compassionate, caring, and emergent ethic embracing equanimity for all beings.
There will be a special emphasis on individual practice and sangha life within a broader human/natural environment context. Tonight’s offering is given in memory of Susan Orr.
Sue Taylor, PhD, MSW, is a member of the Sacramento Dharma Center Board, an ordained Theravada Minister, and an Environmental Chaplain. She is a professor at CSU Sacramento in the Department of Social Work.
Sacramento Insight Meditation events are sustained by the generosity of instructors in offering teachings freely and on the generosity of students and members of the meditative community in the form of financial support, service and participation in events. With our practice of dana, we support our Sangha.
