Mission
We are a Lay practice center in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.
We are learning to bring an ancient Buddhist Practice into the ebb and flow of our daily lives. We come together to strengthen our practice of Mindfulness...beginning with our mindful breathing.
we practice together to support our own practice and to support each other and their practice. we find that by bringing mindfulness into the simple patterns of our daily life, we transform these patterns. this transformation comes simply by bringing an open heart and a quiet mind to these everyday routines.
we find that this simple practice connects us with a deep wellspring of peace and well being inside of us. we are finding that we are the ones we have been waiting for. we are the bringers of the peace we have been searching for and longing for....and all the time it has been hidden inside us, just behind and within our everyday lives.
we practice in this way.:
WHEN WE BREATHE TOGETHER SYNCHRONISTICLY
WE BECOME ONE ORGANISM
ONE RIVER IN SANGHA.
WE SIT AND LISTEN
FLOWING AS ONE RIVER,
ONE BODY,
TRANSCENDING THE COMPLEX OF
SUPERIORITY, INFERIORITY, AND EQUALITY.
AS WE BUILD SANGHA
WE TRANSFORM OUR PAST
