<br>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.

<br>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).

<br>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. <br>
