Animals and the Buddha: Awakening Compassion for All Beings

Film Screening. Vegan Food. Discussion

Co-Presented by Dharma Voices for Animals and IMCW

Please join us for a screening of the film "Animals and the Buddha", directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Keegan Kuhn ("Cowspiracy", "What the Health"), to raise awareness and encourage deeper reflection on how extending compassion to all animals, particularly the animals we might typically forget about, is consistent with the Buddhist path.

Delicious, healthy plant-based food will be served to give participants a first-hand experience of one of the most powerful and positive steps they can take to reduce the suffering of sentient beings, improve health, and heal the planet.

We will share in group discussion of the film's message and explore what we can do personally and collectively to arouse more compassion for all beings.

Co-facilitated by Kristin Barker (IMCW Teacher, Director One Earth Sangha) and Alexandra Arbogast (local chapter leader, Dharma Voices for Animals)

When: Saturday, December 8, 2018 from 6:30-9pm
