Tuere Sala – The Triple Gem of Buddhism: Sangha in Troubled Time

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

We are pleased to welcome Dharma teacher Tuere Sala from the Seattle Insight Meditation Society. Her talk on the Three Jewels of Buddhism will emphasize the importance of Sangha — community — in these troubling times. All are welcome, no meditation experience is needed.

Tuere believes that urban meditation is the foundation for today’s practitioner’s path to liberation. She is inspired by bringing the Dharma to nontraditional places and is a strong advocate for practitioners living with high stress, past trauma and difficulties sitting still. Her teachings reflect an approach to Dharma that is both easy to follow and understand – making it accessible to everyone.
