The Buddhist Study Circle (click on the link inside of Activities): The study circle is structured so that there is practice and study. Beginning with a short and peaceful chant in the beginning, the group then learns from an American Tibetan nun about karma and how it functions in our lives. There are exercises in trying to make the principle come alive in our day-to-day lives. Everyone is welcome to participate.
