EMPOWERMENT THROUGH THE MANIFESTATION OF PRESENCE - THE BUDDHA

The jewel at the heart of our practice is to be present.   Presence brings peace  and enables more clarity and wisdom to shine through , our everyday lives are no longer mundane, we know how to touch the richness and preciousness of each and every moment.

Our theme:  I nourish the Buddha and the Boddhisatva in me.

 What does it mean for us to be buddho …. to be awake?

How do we … bring the Buddha into the 21st century and practice in the way of awakened Being

Thich Nhat Hanh has often said …’ One Buddha is not enough’   He has also called upon us  to be the  next Buddha  the Buddha of Love.   That the next Buddha will come not as  an  individual  but  as a community.’  Being a Buddha is a joy not a chore. We know our world needs us to practice.  To be stable and  peaceful in ourselves and to bring that stability, peace and our collective insight into our  relationships  with ourselves,  with each other, our planet.
