What happens at a gathering?
We gather as an informal group. We may do sitting meditation, chanting meditation, recitations, pay respect to those who have gone before us, to one another and the Buddha Dharma (the teachings). The Sangha, one of the three treasures of Buddhism, gives us community and time to understand how Buddhism works in our daily lives. We may share our thoughts, experiences or not.
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.
Announcements:
- Our gathering includes the name of those who have passed before us. To include the name of a loved one or friend, please email Rev. Anita.
- Please contact Rev. Anita for visits to assisted living, nursing homes or hospitals for those who cannot attend the service.
