This week's dharma talk is given by Sensei Siebuhr. Sensei starts with an explanation of "What is the Buddhists' Bible?".

This week's talk is given by Ellen Dunleavy, a lay dharma leader. Ellen tells a personal story which causes her to reflect on the fact that we're not the center of the universe except where infinite compassion is concerned.

This weekend we celebrated Obon, a Japanese date honoring the dead. Part of the Obon tradition is a group dance or Bon Odori. Sensei briefly talks about the origins of Obon and then goes on to tell of the fable of the monkey and the Buddha.

Sensei talks about the Buddha's heart and his compassion for us living beings.
