Beginning Buddhist Practice - Simple!

We gather once a month to safely explore, share and understand Buddhist teachings

We explore how to live this life liberated from dukkha (suffering)

We check out teachings that lead to more inner peace and joy, now

Sunday, February 20 - Service:

• 9:45 AM: Sitting mediation, all levels, including beginners: Meditation Leader, Greg Stepanic
• 10:30 AM: Shin Buddhist Sangha Gathering and Service: Rev. Anita Tokuzen Kazarian, February Memorial

Following the Service:

After a short break, we will explore and experience Chanting Meditation. Chanting meditation may be the easiest method for beginners to experience the benefits of meditation. Chanting meditation adds a depth to our awareness of self as we advance in its practice. Chanting meditation is “mistake proof,” and, energizing and relaxing at the same time. Why not give it a try?

What does not happen?

We do not worship, we do not have petitionary prayer, nor do we have rules or regulations to judge us from one another.

Is this your first visit?

• We chant, silently if you prefer
  
• We hear Buddhist teachings in simple language
• No strings...
