The Broward Lotus Sangha (BLS) is a Community of Mindful Living in the
tradition of Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh, who was nominated by Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. for the Nobel Peace Price back in the 60s when they were
working together to end the war in Vietnam and promote peace on Earth. A
“Sangha” is a community of practitioners that gets together to meditate,
practice mindfulness, support its members’ spiritual practice, and socialize
with a focus. Throughout our practice, we emphasize the cultivation of
Smirti (Mindfulness), Samadhi (Concentration), and Prajna (Insight), and
endeavor to live in harmony and awareness. To learn more about our practices
including sitting and walking meditation, please click here:

We meet the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The
door opens around 6:00 PM to set up and practitioners should be arriving by
6:15 PM so they can say 'hello', find a comfortable place to sit and relax
while listening to the music. If you are new to meditation, you are invited
to arrive at 6:00 PM for a complimentary introduction to meditation and the
Sangha. Silent meditation starts at 6:30 PM. If you arrive after that,
please come in quietly. (We will be talking again by about 7:00). Feel free
to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and bring your favorite seating
arrangement (some are provided). For directions, please click here

At the end of the meditation gathering we usually share some tea and treats
and, whenever possible, go out to dinner nearby afterwards.  In order to be
kind to the Earth Mother, please bring your own non-disposable teacup and
whatever healthy vegetarian treats or teas you wish to share with the
Sangha.
