Around Town

‘Deepening the Roots of Compassion’ is an
awareness-raising event
   Learn more about a proposed center dedicated to compassion and insight from Anam Thubten, founder of the Point Richmond, Calif.,-based Dharmata Foundation.
   He will be joined by Dana Marsh, director of Heart of the Dharma in Boise, who will talk about her vision for a center that will serve as an incubator for bringing compassion and insight into action in the lives of individuals and the community.
   Anyone interesting in helping others is encouraged to show up at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Ketchum, at 6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 20, for an evening of appetizers and camaraderie.
   Thubten grew up in Tibet and now teaches widely in the U.S. and occasionally abroad. He is also the author of various articles and books in both the Tibetan and English language. His books in English include “The Magic of Awareness” and “No Self, No Problem.”
   Marsh was ordained by Thubten and is also a school teacher. She has spent 20 years teaching in the public schools with at-risk youth and has taught as adjunct faculty at Boise State University and CWI in the sociology and criminal justice departments.
