During this time she has taken classes at BFF and been an active leader in the sangha's cultural and educational activities. Reflecting her professional interests as a psychotherapist, she taught a seminar on Buddha and the Brain, a comparison of the view of the mind from the perspectives of Buddhism, psychology, and neuroscience. She also led a workshop on making origami paper cranes, symbolizing hope and healing for sangha members facing serious illness. As a fund raiser, Margaret organized the sangha's Buddhist craft festival where people from the community came to buy books and crafts, and had an opportunity to write calligraphy and compose poetry. She has an active interest in the arts and hopes to captures the aesthetic aspect of spirituality by editing this book. She has been inspired by the words, images, and spirit of her fellow members of the sangha who were gracious and enthusiastic about sharing their experience of Buddhism with the general public.view less
