Spiritual Friends Sangha is a growing, living, ever changing community.
We gather to celebrate our joys and care for our sorrows, together.
So that we may be nourished by reality and not fear it.
We are relational human beings, we need each other. We need community.
The forces of greed, aversion, and delusion are strong, in us and in the world.
And some of us are feeling that truth now more than ever.
Buddha laid out a path that leads to the end of this suffering.
Let’s journey it together!
We gather weekly to create community and receive support to continue Thay's practice of dwelling happily in the present moment. SF Sangha is a great place to bring your practice questions and learn how meditation teacher Augusta Hopkins (True Ocean of Strength / Peaceful Fulfillment of the Heart) sees the teachings of the Buddha apply to particular challenges of life (aka Dukkha) and how she currently engages, or has in the past engaged, in the practice of mindfulness to navigate similar terrain.
For support on the Path we frequently recite the Five & Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings (Plum Village) and the Five Precepts & Eight Lifetime Precepts (Theravada).
SF Sangha pays Yunakin Land Tax to the Ramaytush Ohlone people.

Yunakin Land Tax
Yunakin Land TaxThe Yunakin Land Tax is a financial contribution made by residents who live along the San Francisco Peninsula in San Francisco County, in San Mateo County, and the portion of Santa Clara County northwest from Cupertino. You can make a one time or recurring contribution.
Yunakin is the Ramaytush word for village. It is used here to convey our commonality as a community of people who live and work together in the ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples.
