Teacher: Reverend Vivian Gruenenfelder
Topic: Applying the Buddha’s Teachings and Practice
Given how much distress current world events are causing so many of us, Rev. Vivian will speak about how we can use our practice and the Buddha's teachings to help ourselves through the situations we are finding ourselves in.  She suggests that each of us consider what we do to help ourselves in these situations, and come prepared to share it.
