    Description

    Sangha, community, is a place of refuge that can help us cultivate the Buddhist path. How do we do that when we can no longer meet in person? And how do we benefit from wise community and good friendship? I share part of the Upaddha Sutta and a quote from Bhikkhu Bodhi as I explore these questions and more. I also offer some suggestions of online sanghas. Here is a broad list from Tricycle Magazine and online meditation offerings from Spirit Rock, The Insight Meditation Society, and the Insight Meditation Center

    A weekly podcast exploring early Buddhist teachings and how they apply to 21st century life. Kate Spina is trained to share Buddhist teachings in the Theravada lineage. IG: @towardlight108www.towardlight.netinfo@towardlight.netToward Light is committed to continuing the tradition of the Buddha by making Early Buddhist teachings accessible to all who are interested in them. We offer multiple tools to help people cultivate and maintain a meditation practice and a spiritually-oriented life. Toward Light was founded to fill a gap in Early Buddhist meditation offerings, which have often been passed down through patriarchal lineage, and do not always take feminist and 21st century perspectives into account.
