Sangha Announcements & News

Zen Studies
It is very important to understand that Zen is not just meditation per se, but rather a process of uncovering unconscious habits, patterns and ways of seeing our life. This is extremely difficult to accomplish without a teacher, as the teacher helps us to explore what we normally are not aware of. For opportunities, including the study of Koans, please visit www.lotusblossom.us/zentraining.htm

Upcoming Class 

December 28, 2012: Kindness, Compassion and Love
These terms are as confused as they are often misunderstood. In this class, we will explore those differences and show examples from daily life in sharing experiences of our spiritual practice. Please enroll at the web page http://www.lotustemple.us/classsignup.html
