Wednesday Dharma Teachings

On Wednesdays, our Spiritual Director, John Bruna, offers commentary, reflection, and practical guidance on Buddhist teachings and meditation practices. We are currently exploring the profound wisdom found in Following in the Buddha’s Footsteps, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron.

Each week, we delve into the transformative teachings of the Buddhist path through a clear and accessible step-by-step approach to cultivating wisdom, compassion, mindfulness, and inner resilience. These timeless teachings are not only valuable for those formally practicing Buddhism, but are universally relevant for anyone seeking greater peace, clarity, and meaning in daily life.

Together, we explore practical methods for understanding the causes of suffering and happiness, working skillfully with emotions, developing compassion for ourselves and others, and cultivating a wiser and more awakened way of living. The teachings invite us to examine our habits of mind, deepen self-awareness, and discover tools for responding to life’s challenges with greater balance and understanding.

Whether you are a longtime practitioner, new to Buddhist teachings, exploring spiritual growth, or simply interested in living with greater kindness and awareness, these sessions offer insights that resonate across cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs.

All are welcome.
