You are invited to join our Sangha wide Spring Practice Period. Doing these practices with the support of Sangha and daily teachings increases their potency.
Connecting with the Three Jewels of
Buddha, Dharma and Sangha
Even as we engage in our daily routine, we can connect with the living presence of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. They are called the 3 Jewels because they provide beauty, richness, and value to our meditation practice. They are worthy of our attention.
Reflection on the Buddha leads us to the teacher within. How do you experience your inner guide? It is the voice of wisdom and compassion which becomes more easy to hear as we listen without judgment.
The jewel of the Dharma (the teachings) is found in the immediacy of the ever present moment with its endless revelations of the impermanent and “ empty fullness” of life.
The precious Sangha is the company we keep as we explore the moment to moment unfolding of our lives, helping us to find our way. The Buddha called the ongoing presence of the Sangha as “the whole of the holy life.” We are not alone!
HOW IT WORKS
During this 7 day Practice Period, as you go about your daily life, you will choose from a menu of options for how you will practice. You might choose to attend one or more of the Group Sittings which will be offered, or listen from a curated list of Dharma talks, or practice mindful eating, or limit screen time.
How you practice is up to you. You will be supported by the teachers, Anna Douglas and Terry Magee.
