Wednesday Sit

Dharma Study and Sit with Guiding Teacher, Victor Byrd

We meet at a private home in Long Beach every Wednesday evening, from 7:00 to 8:30 P.M. After a brief orientation, and thirty minute sit, Victor guides a 50 minute period of study and discussion of the reading. Every two months, we read and discuss a seminal book on the Buddha-dharma.

Anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the Buddha-dharma is welcome to attend. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) so we can add your name to the Dharma Study E-list. Periodic reminders will be emailed with suggested reading assignments. Chairs are available but we ask that you bring your own sitting gear, if possible.

The Dharma is priceless, so we can’t put a monetary value on the teaching. Although there is no fee for this study group, dana is gratefully accepted in support of the teacher and LBM.
