Pizza Dharma at Hot Lips on Hawthorne

About this event

Life is challenging. Come join us for pizza, silent meditation, fellowship, and a Dharma teaching and discussion. No experience necessary. This group is participation oriented, though participation is not mandatory. If you want to come and just observe, that's fine. This Pizza Dharma is designed for everyone to get to know and support one another. A group of like minded practitioners is called the Sangha. You will find that a Sangha can change your life when you realize we're all struggling, and we're all in this together. We do use a chant book put together by Mt. Adams Buddhist Temple and you're encouraged to either buy a copy or download the PDF .

It doesn't matter if you have a spiritual faith already. A Buddhist practice is compatible with all faiths or lack thereof. In fact, it could be said there's no such thing as "converting" to Buddhism. You either practice it or you don't. And you don't have to "believe" anything. It either works for you, or it doesn't. But for the most part, if you stick with it, a Buddhist practice does indeed work and can transform your life.
