December 2025 Talks

Updated: Dec 19, 2025



Dec 2: Pema Chodron

Pema Chodron was the first American woman to receive full ordination as a Tibetan nun (via the Mahayana community of monastics in Hong Kong).



Dec 12: Listening: A Language of Love

Thich Nhat Hanh says deep listening is the foundation of Right Speech. Ayya Ahimsa maps out the necessity to listening internally in our meditation, externally in our relationships and the advance skill of being able to listen internally and externally simultaneously.



Dec 19: Buddhamas

Every year, at Christmas time, we have a sing song....singing Buddhist words to Christmas tunes. The Buddhist words were crafted by Linda Furrow when she was the office manager at Birken Forest Monastery. And we have the good fortune to have Scott Diehl with his guitar and wonderful voice lead us in the singing.
