Monthly Dharma Study Course:
Cultivating Compassion
From December 14, 2022 to May 10, 2023, practitioners met via Zoom on the second Wednesday of each month. Over the course of six months, participants listened, learned and practiced using a Dharma talk given by Rebecca Li. Participants were invited to practice with the parts that resonated over the weeks prior to the gathering by integrating the teachings into their daily life.
