Living the Dharma in Daily LifeMarin Sangha is an insight meditation (vipassana) group in Marin County dedicated to offering the teachings of the Buddha and guidance in Buddhist spiritual discipline with an emphasis on living the dharma in daily life.
Marin Sangha has been meeting since 1998. We meet Sundays, 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Bayview Room at the St. Luke Presbyterian Church Chairs are provided, but bring your own meditation cushions. Wheelchair accessible. Dana (generosity) PracticeIn the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are given freely because they are considered priceless; therefore, there is no fee for attending our weekly meeting. However, in the Buddhist tradition we also practice dana, or generosity, by giving offerings in gratitude for the Dharma. Dana is not payment for goods or services rendered; it is given from the heart. We offer dana to our teachers, and many of them have no other means of support. Dana also pays for our rent, insurance, and other operational costs.Another way to practice generosity is through service. A substantial amount of effort goes into ensuring that each meeting goes smoothly. Sangha members are encouraged to volunteer to help set up before the meeting and straighten up afterwards. You may help on a regular or occasional basis. This is another opportunity to make friends and participate in the Sangha.
