Our spiritual director, periodic resident teachers, and visiting teachers provide authentic Buddhist teachings at the dharma center throughout the year. The teachings are free and open to all.

On Thursday evenings via Zoom, we discuss various Buddhist texts. If you would like information about joining us, please contact us at scdharma@gmail.com or 803-467-7759.
