Please join us in radiating boundless metta and karuna in sangha for Beth, Ben and their family, on Saturday, July 19th at 6pm, either in person at the ILA Santa Monica Meditation Center, or via Zoom online.
With deep sorrow and immense love, we reach out with heartbreaking news…
Longtime, beloved InsightLA teacher and Dharma sister, Beth Sternlieb, has lost her beautiful daughter, Angelica, to cancer. She received hospice care at Cedars-Sinai and we are grateful that Angelica was surrounded there by beloved family, the good wishes of her community of dear friends and a dedicated and loving treatment team, receiving the best of care.
Clearly, this is a time of unimaginable pain for Beth, Angelica’s loving father, Ben, her brother, Jon, sister-in-law Jess and the entire family. It is in times like these that we are reminded of what is essential in life, what truly matters, and can realize more fully the liberating refuge of our Dharma practice. Beth is deeply grateful for the Dharma, which is guiding her through this profound time.
May our love hold and surround them.
In the meantime, inviting you to hold them all in your meditation, envisioning them surrounded by love and peace during this time of transition.
In Deep Appreciation, Maureen, Heidi and Lisa
