Karuna Buddhist Center 423 S. 4th Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI

No Judgment Zone is a support group with a difference: not a therapy group, a 12-step program, or a religious meeting, it is an opportunity to talk and listen while striving for full acceptance of ourselves and each other.

As Khenpo Rinpoche sums up, "Know this life to be like a dream, [...]

The course will be taught twice a [...]
