SUMMARY:Perfect Generosity: Becoming a Bodhisattva with Heather Breault
DESCRIPTION:Suffering is all around us\, and it can be overwhelming to know what to do or how to help.

This course is open for the first three weeks\, afterwards please wait for the next course to begin attending. \nEach class will have a dharma teachings\, discussion and meditations. There are optional readings\, homework and quizzes for deeper study and understanding.  \n10 Wednesdays January 9-March 13\, 6:30pm-8:30pm\nat Diamond Light Meditation Center\n2791 24th Street\, Room 14 (upstairs)\, Sacramento CA 95818\nparking lot in back\, ADA accessible \ncost: suggested donation $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds \nwww.diamondlightsac.org \n \nHeather started practicing yoga in 2001 and finished her teacher training in 2008.
