Dharma Talk & Meditation with John Mifsud

Dharma Talk & Meditation with John Mifsud

August 10th, 2025 | 📍 3111 Wissemann Dr, Sacramento, CA 95826

We’re delighted to invite you to a special gathering on Saturday, August 10th, from 1:15 PM to 3:00 PM, as we welcome Buddhist teacher John Mifsud to share his wisdom with our community.

John’s teachings may explore themes like:

• Dana (generosity) as service,

• Right action and right speech, or

• Divine dissatisfaction (and how it guides our practice).

True to the spirit of dharma, the exact topic will unfold organically—allowing the evening’s energy to shape the conversation. There will also be time for meditation, offering a space to reflect and embody these teachings.

All are welcome to share a casual lunch with John before the event as well —a lovely chance to connect!
 

Whether you’re curious about one theme or all, we hope you’ll join us for this nourishing afternoon.
