Discussion: Role B

Group Exploration (25 minutes)

Guiding Question:
“As you reflect on your life and the world, where do you most vividly recognize the six realms of samsara: Hell, Hungry Ghost, Animal, Human, Jealous God, God? How do your own choices — as a separate, resonant, and holographic being — contribute to these patterns of suffering or healing? And how does this recognition deepen your sense of Sangha and the importance of Dharma practice as the way out?”

Instructions:

• Each person shares briefly (about 3–4 minutes).

• After all have spoken, the group has 5 minutes to reflect together on shared insights.

• Encourage listening from the heart, not problem-solving.

• FIT: Practice reflective listening and mirroring: As someone shares, reflect back key words or feelings you heard to ensure they feel seen and understood.

• FIT: Highlight common threads: During the reflection period, notice recurring patterns, themes, or resonances between people’s stories. Bring these into the group space to deepen collective learning.

Timing:

• 20 minutes for individual sharing (3–4 minutes each, 5–6 people).

• 5 minutes for group reflection/discussion.
