EXPLORING BUDDHISM WEEKEXPLORING BUDDHISM WEEKBack to 2009 GallerySravasti Abbey offered its 4th Exploring Buddhism Week in July. It is a great experience for the community and the participants. The Abbey community supports the young adults with making meals, offering service opportunities, and one-on-one heartfelt Dharma conversations. The young adults bring great joy, enthusiasm, and questioning minds to the week-long event. We all had fun! ![]() Daily group discussions among the young adults and Venerable Chodron were the favorite time of day. A group shot of part of the forest thinning crew.
