Honoring Our Ancestors

Concluding Service for Gently Sitting Like A Stone

Tuesday 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm ET (New York)

Online on Zoom

As part of our fall practice period, you are invited to join us as close 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 on zoom as the sangha members from five day Gently Sitting Like a Stone retreat are returning home.

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.
