The Wheel of Life
Led By: Srisara and Suryapala
Each Monday evening from July 7th to July 28th, 2025
6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. EST
Online via Zoom
Description:
Every Monday night, join us for a welcoming class designed to nurture your mind, heart, and spirit. Each month, we’ll explore a new theme that draws from mindfulness, Buddhist teachings, and practical tools for daily life.
🌿 July’s Theme: The Wheel of Life
🌿 Drop-in format: Come to any or all sessions — no commitment required!
🌿 Open to everyone, no experience necessary.
From guided meditations to thought-provoking discussions, each session is a chance to reflect, grow, and connect.
For the month of July, we will explore the Wheel of Life.
A demon clutches a wheel with 4 hubs, reflecting the human condition. Round and round we go, sometimes landing in the god realm, the animal realm, the hell realm. Join us to learn more about this fascinating symbol from Tibetan Buddhism and — crucially — how you get off the wheel.
Drop in each week, or as often as you can, for discussions led by Order Members and supported by our practice community.
