The Benefits and the Challenges of Being in Community
As a Buddhist community, we take refuge in the triple gem: the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha.  It is important to understand  that the sangha is flawed and on occasion, bound to cause disappointment.  How could it be otherwise, when WE are the sangha.  Tonight’s discussion will be about the benefits of being in the SIM community and the larger SDC community, and the organizational and personal challenges that arise from a group of disparate individuals coming together. Community can be, if we allow it, a very practical guide to waking up to the suffering in our life and the lives of others.  And perhaps if we can skillfully navigate our relationships in our SIM and larger SDC community, we may find more ease in the wider communities of family, neighborhood, country… the planet.
