*Tonight we are continuing a series of live Dharma talks given by Zen Master
Thích Nhất Hạnh this year during the Path of the Buddha 21 Day Retreat for
Advanced Practitioners in Plum Village, France.  Come see and hear Thây's
latest teachings on DVD,  join us for sitting and walking meditation, and
mindful tea. **We will also go out to dinner nearby afterwards**.*  Please
bring your own non-disposable teacup and whatever healthy vegetarian treats
or teas you wish to share with the Sangha.

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 promote Peace on Earth and end the war in Vietnam. 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 (and
other times as stated in our Calendar of Events
http://www.meetup.com/Broward-Lotus-Sangha/calendar/). The door opens around
6:00 PM to set up and practitioners are invited to arrive by 6:15 PM so they
can say 'hello', find a comfortable place to sit and relax while listening
to the music. 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
(disposable ones are usually provided by the Sangha) and whatever healthy
vegetarian treats or teas you wish to share with the Sangha.

COME SIT WITH US!

A Lotus Flower for You,
