EXPLORING BUDDHISM WEEK

EXPLORING BUDDHISM WEEK

Back to 2009 Gallery

Sravasti 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.

We accomplished a lot in a week!
What great effort!


Ryder thins one of the many stands of overcrowded trees for forest health and fire prevention.


Naomi puts her editing skills to good use as she
looks over a Dharma talk by Venerable Chodron.


The community and the young adults have the good fortune to receive teachings from Venerable Chodron every day through the week-long program.

Nick, a young volunteer from Spokane, gets his picture taken with his heroes and heroines.


Jen and Laresa study together. Studying together always helps in understanding the Dharma.

  I'm just helping out! says Tim as he assists Kevin with a pancake breakfast.

The tradition skits are a lighthearted way to express ideas we think about during retreat. Here the group acts out silly gender stereotypes.
