Free 2-day meditation retreat, Los Angeles

While some of us celebrate Vesak in Pasadena, others will be on a short retreat.

It's a free 2-day, non-residential meditation retreat in La Puente at Lankarama Buddhist Institute (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lankarama/100864816625545) that will bring participants into contact with an accomplished Buddhist monk who has mastered these components of meditation to give free guidance and interviews.

Buddhist meditation combines serenity (samatha) and insight (vipassana). The first stabilizes and temporarily purifies the mind/heart. Insight practice then frees it as it permanently purifies view.

REGISTER FREE (https://goo.gl/forms/yJm0msndw8LlyaPw2) for a headcount for (free) lunch. Free parking on street. Please keep driveway clear for alms round food offering on May 5th. (If you wish to participate in the alms offering, please arrive before 10:30 am.)
