Buddhist Symposium at MDC

I want to share merit with all of you.  This weekend I was invited to the Meditation Center of DC to teach a Buddhist Symposium.

Teachers from Prince William County Public Schools have asked for this symposium as a way for the teachers to get to know Buddhism and learn a wonderful skill of meditation.  Many of the teachers have already incorporated a form of meditation into their classes.  

After learning about Buddhism and meditation, those who attended had a chance to practice generosity in the traditional way of offering alms to the monks and then enjoying lunch together and time to speak with the monks after.

Meditation Class: Spreading Peace

Today was another wonderful day for meditation.  I had the opportunity to lead meditation to 14 people today.

The feeling of relaxation, peace, and tranquility really filled the room today.  We had some new members and friends of new members from nearby.  Everyone seemed to have a wonderful experience.

Peace and Happiness can be achieved.  All we need to do is learn how to still the mind and find peace within.  Then when we start to feel this peace, you cannot keep it only for yourself. Let others know too.

Share this peace to the world.
From your home, to your neighbors, to our community, our country, and to our world.

Meditation Class

Today I had the opportunity to lead 10 people in meditation.  Meditation is such a wonderful way to help relieve stress and unwind the tension from everyday life.

One of our meditators was very stressed from everyday life of work, family responsibilities, and other things that may have happened.  In the short 45 minute group meditation session together, she was able to finally relax both body and mind.

Just one example of meditation working.  I hope to continue to tell you all more and help guide more people through meditation, a way to relax both body and mind.
