The title of Rich’s talk is “Reflections on the Year.”

We are reminded in the Dhammapada that there are three elements of practice:

Doing no evil,

Engaging in what’s skillful,

And purifying one’s mind.

This is the teaching of the buddhas.

(v. 183, Gil Fronsdal translation)

As the year ends, we will reflect on how we did in these three areas, using the lens of the Pārami (the perfections of the mind-heart), an attitude of kindness, and the support of the sangha, the community of fellow practitioners. We will close together by ringing 108 bells. Join SIM Community Mentor Rich Howard for a peaceful, supportive evening.
