Momentum – the sense that the Dharma is taking hold and guiding us forward – is essential to our development as practitioners. It is key to experiencing confidence, satisfaction and genuine pleasure in meditation and life.


What are some of the factors that influence sustaining and cultivating Momentum? What are the factors the support expanding Momentum outside of our meditation practice and into our relationships and daily activities?

These questions will be the focus of the presentation and our discussion this evening.

Have you seen the latest update from our Sacramento Dharma Center? An excerpt is shown below:

Three years ago, the Sacramento Dharma Center began a fundraising campaign to pay down $150,000 on our mortgage before we had to refinance in 2026. Astoundingly, with two years to go we have already paid down $250,000 of debt and now owe just under $132,000!
We need your help to continue this success. This year, four amazing donors have together offered $1 to $1 matching funds up to $42,000. This sets our campaign goal at $84,000. We humbly ask for your support to meet or go beyond this goal. <Read More…>
