Taking the Buddha to Prison: Panel on teaching Dharma to inmates

Sunday, May 22, 11am to 12pm

This panel is informational—to give some insights into the role of a volunteer chaplain in prison, what it’s like to share the dharma through prison visits or being penpals with an inmate, and to share some of the mens’ writing and the joy that is often found, even in prison.

John Haggerty is in his 6th year of serving at CTF and sits with the IMC sangha. Meryl Landy, in her 3rd year at CTF, is a graduate of the Sati Center Chaplaincy Program and sits with the IMC sangha.
