This two-session workshop, led by sangha member Jonathan Hissong and open to all, will use a Buddhist sutra as a launching point for creative exploration and self-expression.

Using the Metta Sutra as a basis, we’ll first discuss what this sutra is saying to us in this moment. Participants will be welcome to speak about their own interpretation. Click here to see the text of the Metta Sutra.

Following this discussion, participants will be invited to reflect and write a short piece using poetry, essay, or sutra form on our practice or on the sutra itself.

In a follow-up session on February 4, those who feel comfortable in doing so will share what they have written, and then we’ll have discussion.
