The Buddhist Sangha of Bucks County was delighted to welcome David Slaymaker on Monday, July 14th, for a special session of meditation and Dharma teachings on Self Compassion.
David, a dedicated practitioner in the Dharma Drum Mountain lineage of Master Sheng Yen, delved into self-compassion through the lens of Chan Buddhism. He also expanded our understanding by connecting it to all Four Brahma Viharas and touching on many points from Visuddhimagga!
David’s journey in Buddhist practice began in 1992 with Soto Zen, leading him to study Chan with Master Sheng Yen in 1995. He has shared his knowledge and experience by leading numerous Dharma talks, meditation classes, and retreats at various centers, including the Chan Meditation Center, Dharma Drum Retreat Center, and DDMBA New Jersey. Outside of his practice, David is a biology professor in New Jersey, where he lives with his wife.
