Living the Dharma in Daily LifeMarin Sangha is a mindfulness meditation (vipassana) group in Marin County that puts special emphasis on living the dharma in daily life. The evening's agenda includes guided meditations, mindful movement or walking meditation, and insightful talks that draw upon various aspects of the Buddha's teachings. Our principal guiding teachers are Donald Rothberg and Oren J. Sofer, but we also host teachers of diverse backgrounds and disciplines including nuns and monks from the Northern California monastic communities.
We meet Sundays, 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Bayview Room at the St. Luke Presbyterian Church We provide chairs, all you might need is a comfy cushion. This venue is wheelchair accessible. Dana (generosity) PracticeIn the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are given freely because they are considered priceless; That means there's no fee for attending our weekly meeting. Instead, we practice dana, or generosity. Dana isn't payment for goods or services but an expression of gratitude. We offer dana to our teachers since many of them have no other means of support, and use it to pay for our rent, insurance, and other maintenance costs.Another way to practice dana is through service. Significant efforts 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. Whether you want to help on a regular or occasional basis is entirely up to you -- it's a great opportunity to make friends and build on your dharma practice.
