This Sunday: Guest Teacher DaeJa Napier
Dharma Talk Topic: The Eight Worldly Winds
Sunday, October 4

10:00am - 12:00pm

Offered In-Person & Online via Zoom

Please join us this Sunday, October 12, as we welcome guest teacher DaeJa Napier to lead our Sunday program.

DaeJa will speak on the Eight Worldly Winds—the forces of gain and loss, praise and blame, status and disrepute, and pleasure and pain that continually move through our lives. As the winds of change blow in and through our lives, how can we meet both the cries and the joys of our world with awareness and equanimity?

​

DaeJa teaches Insight Meditation (Vipassana), with a particular emphasis on the Brahma Viharas. She has studied with renowned teachers including Zen Master Soeng Sahn, Sayadaw U Pandita, Pa Auk Sayadaw, and Joseph Goldstein, and brings decades of experience integrating Buddhist practice with the fullness of daily life.
