Sangha is a community of friends practicing the dharma together in order to bring about and to maintain awareness. The essence of our sangha is awareness, understanding, acceptance, compassion and love. When you see qualities in a community, you know that you have a real sangha.
SANGhA
“In my experience of Sanghas, Boston Dharma Punx is unique in being peer led, but the most profound thing about DPX is that the community who attend are seriously interested in how Buddhism can help them live a happier life.”
“This community’s support means so much to me. It’s like these trees we are sitting under. Their root systems underneath the ground are interconnected, and entwined. They communicating with each other and support each other in their growth. I feel that here with DPX.”
“I heard about Dharma Punx through Recovery Dharma. It’s been a really helpful group for my recovery.”
“With all the rampant corruption of power these days in religion, politics and the corporate wold, it was important for me to join a meditation group that is peer lead. Hearing different peoples perspectives brings a different lens to the topics.”
“I really benefit from meditating with the cross over Sangha from Dharma Punx, Boston Meditation Center and Recovery Dharma for the last 3 years. Getting to know so many people dedicated to the Buddhists path has been amazingly healing for me. My symptoms of complex PTSD have almost completely subsided since I started meditating daily and connected with the community.”
“Watching people in this group grow gives me hope that I can grow also. There is so much compassion here.”
“The consistency of weekly meditation with the Dharma Punx community has helped me to gradually build my own daily practice.”
“I’ve never joined anything in my life except the Boy Scouts when I was eleven. I’m used to going through life without exposing myself. But I’ve stuck with this group.”
“I don’y believe my own bullshit as much since I’ve been meditating. I use meditation to grasp reality and find a broader perspective, instead of distracting myself with habits of drugs, alcohol and sex.”
