My Meetup Groups

  • Organizer

     This is a very worthwhile group. Master Ching is a very unique and special teacher. 

  • Organizer

     The Clearwater Chinese School does a great job bringing the Chinese and American communities together and educating children of all ages, and also adults. It also provides an opportunity for sincere people to participate and help others in a meaningful way. If you would like to volunteer or take a class, please call Tom Lacey at (727) 455-1056. We want to organize a new beginner class for adults for the summer. 

  • Organizer

     This is a very interesting meetup group because it brings so many perspectives, being a blend of Chinese, American and other cultures. There are more women than men but very balanced. Our monk Bhane is from Sri Lanka and brings a certain third world element --one of greater clarity and vision, not being encumbered by the values of our consumerist society. He is not so spoiled but does stress discipline and responsibility, such as coming to meditation class on time. I think everyone now sees his or her self as a "supernatural human being," as the Buddha described himself, that is as arising above the ordinary mud of common passions and desires. 

  •  The group members have a lot of skills that can be put to good use in this collective effort.

  •  Hi everyone. I am "Gao Ying"(Laura Gao). Just moved to Tampa from Shanghai this Feb. Totally love the weather here. Anyone who is interested in trying authentic Chinese food or learning Chinese language is welcome to be my friends. As I just moved into West Park Village in West Chase a week ago, my dinette set won't arrive till four weeks later. If you don't mind eating by the counter you are welcome to join me for my homemade Chinese dinner - I passed the entry level Chinese Chef Exam. :)

  •  Are there local buddist temples in St. Petersburg or in the Tampa area? My interest in the group is to learn more about Buddism and also about meditation.
