WHUUF Buddhist Sangha

WELCOME!

The WHUUF Buddhist discussion and meditation group gathers in community to share wisdom and insights on Buddhism, Meditation and Mindfulness.

 

We uphold the WHUUF Covenant of Right Relations (https://whuuf.net/about-us/covenant-right-relations/) and practice the Noble Eightfold Path shared by the Buddha to end suffering, develop skillfulness, and be in harmony with our community (https://www.lionsroar.com/buddhism/eightfold-path/). 

Join us in person or by Zoom on Sundays from 9 – 10 AM.

  • IN PERSON:  We meet in the Fireside room located down the hall from the WHUUF main office.  

  • BY ZOOM:  https://uuma.zoom.us/j/97751343013 (Meeting ID: 977 5134 3013)
