Part of the Sravasti Abbey's nuns' visit! Tuesday at Sautee Nacoochee and Drepung Loseling, Wednesday at Grant Park, Thursday at Emory Buddhist Club, and Fri-Sun at Georgia Buddhist Camp. All welcome!

In this inspiring talk, Tibetan Buddhist nuns from Sravasti Abbey will explore how hope arises not from wishful thinking or avoiding difficulties, but from transforming the way we relate to them. Drawing on the Buddha’s teachings and their own years of monastic training and contemplative practice, they will discuss how understanding impermanence, cultivating compassion, and training the mind can help us face adversity with resilience and an open heart.

Grant Park Meditation:
We all want to live in a kinder, more compassionate world. But how do we actually cultivate compassion—and put it into action in the midst of everyday life?
Join Venerable Thubten Chonyi and Venerable Thubten Dekyi, Buddhist nuns visiting from Sravasti Abbey, for an evening exploring practical ways to strengthen compassion within ourselves and bring it into our relationships, our communities, and the challenges we encounter every day.
Compassion is not simply something we either have or don’t have. It is a capacity we can cultivate. Through Buddhist teachings, reflection, and conversation, Ven. Chonyi and Ven. Dekyi will share ways to develop the qualities that help us meet difficult times with greater kindness, joy, resilience, and an open heart.
