The Assaya Sangha book group meets in person at a sangha sister's home in the East Bay (California) on the second Saturday of the month.
The book chosen for April and May will be The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching
by Thich Nhat Hanh.
Here's a link to the Plum Village website with a summary of the book. https://plumvillage.shop/
From the Plum Village description of the book:
Thich Nhat Hanh’s comprehensive presentation of how the Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path, Three Dharma Seals, and Three Doors of Liberation act as one integrated architecture for transforming suffering at its deepest roots. This timeless book serves as the definitive map showing not just individual teachings but how they interconnect, how Right View supports Right Concentration, how understanding dukkha (suffering) simultaneously illuminates the path to freedom, how every Buddhist teaching points toward the same direct realization of reality’s actual nature.
No ongoing commitment is required and it is not necessary to read the entire book to attend.
If you are joining us to discuss the book, please pick a passage from the book to share with the group that speaks to you or informs your life and/or practice.
Future meeting dates (2nd Saturdays):
June 13th from 11 AM - 1 PM
July 11th from 11 AM - 1 PM
