The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read Buddhist texts. In this ongoing discussion group, we will read a segment of The Dhammapada in each session and will discuss its utility and practical application in both our daily lives and in our close relationships.

[Translated by Ananda Maitreya]

“There is a Buddha in each of us. That is why, while reading the Dhammapada, we feel that the insights of the Buddha are also our own.” -- From the Forward by Thich Nhat Hanh

By coming together as a curious, open, trusting, and vulnerable community, we can each benefit from the wisdom, perspectives, and practices others have considered or employed in navigating the many ways we can show up for ourselves and others with attuned presence, continually deepening care, and an increased sense of relational ease and freedom.
