VIRTUAL TASTE OF BUDDHISM:

The Benefits of Gratitude:
Why, When, and How to Practice It

with sujatha baliga
​


​Sunday, November 7
10:30am - 11:30am PST

Facebook Livestream
​​
If you want to join the Zoom room for a Taste of Buddhism talk, please register here for the Zoom link.


Western scientific studies have shown that feeling gratitude for our blessings increases mental wellbeing. Buddhist psychology describes a similar phenomenon, called the power of appreciation. In this talk and meditation, we’ll practice building the habit of appreciating the good things in our lives, with a special focus on the important role others play in our happiness.
​
About the Presenter:
sujatha baliga’s work is characterized by an equal dedication to crime survivors and people who’ve caused harm. A former victim advocate and public defender, she speaks publicly and inside prisons about her own experiences as a survivor of child sexual abuse and her path to forgiveness. Her personal and research interests include the forgiveness of seemingly unforgivable acts, survivor-led movements, restorative justice’s potential impact on racial disparities in our legal systems, and Buddhist approaches to conflict transformation. She’s a member of the Gyuto Foundation in Richmond, CA, where she leads meditation on Monday nights. She was named a 2019 MacArthur Fellow.
