SZBA Event Recordings

We are pleased to offer a selection of recordings from our past events for your convenience. The event recordings are made public and searchable on YouTube a month after the event. SZBA Dharma talks were held once a month and open to both SZBA members and the general public. The SZBA Dharma talks provide an opportunity for sharing the Dharma, in its many expressions, and are a new effort by the SZBA to widen its connections.

Please feel free to like or subscribe to the Soto Zen Buddhist Association's YouTube channel.

Recordings: Past SZBA Events

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Soto Zen Buddhist Association was honored to offer two event series that uplifted diverse voices and supported the vitality of Zen communities. "Celebrating the Voices of Women in Buddhism: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" was a year-long monthly speaker series in 2024, generously funded by the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation. Curated by the SZBA DEIA Committee, the series featured Dharma talks, panels, and intimate conversations with Buddhist women teachers, exploring the evolving roles and enduring wisdom of women in the Dharma across generations.

This year, 2025, with support from the Hemera Foundation, we are offering the series "Actualizing and Sustaining Healthy Zen Communities", focused on fostering well-being within sanghas and strengthening ties with local communities. These events are developed to equip participants with tools to cultivate harmony and purpose in communal practice.
