Join Us for a Special Live Conversation

Tergar Institute warmly invites you to a special Living Dharma Chat with Roshi Joan Halifax, a pioneering Buddhist teacher, social activist, and founder of Upaya Zen Center. For more than five decades, Roshi Joan has embodied what it means to live the Dharma fully—bringing contemplative wisdom into the fields of caregiving, social justice, end-of-life care, environmental action, and compassionate leadership.

In this live online conversation, Roshi Joan will reflect on what it truly means to embody the Dharma in today’s world—not as an abstract philosophy, but as a lived path of presence, courage, and compassionate engagement. Drawing from her lifetime of service and practice, she will explore how we can meet our world with resilience, clarity, and a boundless heart.

Whether you're a practitioner, a caregiver, an educator, a leader, a changemaker, or simply someone seeking to live with greater integrity and compassion, this session invites you into a deep inquiry: How can we bring wisdom to action in the very midst of our lives?

We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful and timely conversation.
