Ongoing Wednesday Evening Group in San Francisco

This Wednesday evening group meets from 7-9pm every Wednesday evening at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 1187 Franklin Street (between Geary and O'Farrell). We meet in the Fireside Room. The group begins with guided meditation, followed by chanting, a dharma talk and discussion. The aim of the teaching is to introduce fundamental Buddhist teachings and bring them alive, emphasizing integration into the fabric of daily life and practice.

All are welcome.

Buddhist teachings are considered priceless; in that spirit, the group will be offered on the traditional basis of dana, or generosity. There is no set fee. All who attend are invited to contribute in appreciation of the teachings and in support of the teachers.
