Simile of the Cloth


Hello Everyone,
Looking forward to seeing all of you again after some time away, with the busyness of visiting family and a rejuvenating and healing retreat!
This Sunday, I will be exploring the Simile of the Cloth which is a really visceral and visually symbolic sutta of the Buddha where he goes into the purification of the mind from kilesas or defilements.  I was able to have an in depth understanding of this sutta while on recent retreat when one of the teachers shared it with us.
Hoping to see you all there to enjoy this beautiful teaching together.
I will be teaching a daylong on May 17, Saturday at the church from 9-430. It will be exploring some of the wisdom teachings of the Buddha and how we cultivate wisdom in practice on and off the cushion. Please register on our website, see link below. Please bring a bag lunch, comfortable clothes and one needs to only be fully present to benefit!
