As part of our fall practice period, you are invited to join us as we prepare for our five day retreat by inviting in our mentors, elders and ancestors. The evening service is traditionall an acknowledgement of the lineage of Buddhist teachers. Shining Bright Lotus has expanded the service to include the wisdom elders from our community of practitioners.

This participatory event will be brought to you on zoom from the All Nation’s Gathering Center when sangha members are preparing for the five day Gently Sitting Like a Stone retreat beginning September 27th.

Buddhist meditation offers us a gateway to greater inner peace. Learning to focus our attention inside, allows for the busy-ness of the mind to fall away, nurturing tranquility and equanimity. Over time, this allows us to change our wayand suffering. Joyfulness arises. Learning to bring this experience in our daily life fosters wisdom and compassion.

This event is available to members of Shining Bright Lotus Meditation Society only.
