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






Classes
Classes on Zen Buddhist and meditation topics will be scheduled throughout the new year on the last Friday of every month.

Winter Zen Retreat 
Once again, we will hold our winter retreat. This year, it is scheduled for Sunday, January 20, 2013  –  9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For details and registration, please go to www.lotustemple.us/nextretreat.html
