Buddhist 12 Step Group (B12) In Person and Zoom
Saturday
7:00-8:30pm
Cost: Free; donations are welcome
The Buddhist 12 Step Study Group (B12) explores how Buddhism and 12 Step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous ( NA, etc), can benefit and nurture each other. Both practices begin with the acknowledgement of suffering, the realization that suffering arises from craving, and that there is a solution. The path of the 12 Steps and the Noble Eightfold Path travel through remarkably similar territory and have much to offer each other.
We meet every Saturday from 7:00-8:30 pm. Following a brief welcoming discussion and introduction period, there is a 20 minute guided meditation followed by reading and discussing books that connect Buddhism and the 12 Steps. We close with a lovingkindness practice.
No dues or fees; no need to pre-register.
No meditation experience or particular faith or spiritual practice is required. Neither is membership in a twelve step program. We are simply people exploring the path out of the suffering brought about by craving and clinging in whatever form it arises.

CLASSES
Precepts Class
The Five Buddhist Precepts encourage ethical, compassionate, and wise behavior. They also promote insight into one's intentions. They can be taken at face value or interpreted broadly to include ideas like deep listening, loving speech, and guarding against mentally/emotionally toxic influences. The study and practice of the precepts promotes peace and well-being for the individual, the sangha, and all sentient beings.
A Precepts class will be offered on the five Tuesday evenings ( 7/16, 7/23, 7/30, 8/6 and 8/13) from 7:00-8:30. The class will be online via Zoom.
There is no cost for the class. Class limited to 20. The class will be taught by Sue Noble and other sangha members. Following the class there will be an opportunity to make a commitment to following the Precepts.
