Topic: "Sangha: Waking Up Together"
Associated article: "The Precepts: Directing the Mind Towards Practices in Diversity" by Larry Yang:

At this time in our country and in the world, we are challenged to deepen our practices of integrity and ethics to be the foundation from which we choose to speak and act towards the alleviation of suffering and cultivation of inclusion and equity for all beings. We will review and discuss Larry Yang's version of the precepts that offer a broader perspective on how we can take responsibility in understanding power, privilege, and oppression within ourselves and the impact it has on those around us.
Hope you can join us.
Peace and blessings,
La.
