Cris began her Buddhist practice in 2010 in the Mahayana tradition; once she found Insight Meditation South Bay, she realized that Theravada practice is her spiritual home. After attending regularly for a while, she began her volunteer work with IMSB by coordinating a talk and book signing special event with a guest teacher. She has been glad to offer dana, both through donations and volunteering, as a way to reciprocate for these profound teachings that have been freely offered. She finds that the teachings of the Buddha, her meditation practice and volunteer efforts have enriched her daily life and given her a sense of serenity and wellness. Her study and practice over several years with the brahmavihārās, particularly mettā, have been profound and have allowed her to find more ease in this world.
