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

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, *
