🌿 Introduction to Buddhism Meetup

Welcome!
This is a friendly, beginner-friendly space where we’ll explore the basics of Buddhism together. Whether you’re curious, completely new, or just looking for a supportive community, you’re in the right place.

What to Expect at the Intro Meeting
• A Gentle Overview: Learn the essential teachings of Buddhism in a simple, down-to-earth way—like mindfulness, compassion, and finding peace in everyday life.
• Interactive Sharing: Time for questions and open conversation so you can connect ideas to your own life.
• Short Meditation Practice: No prior experience needed. Chanting the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, is like breathing meditation in sound. Just as mindful breathing steadies the body and quiets the mind, daimoku aligns the rhythm of our voice with the rhythm of the Universe itself. Each repetition is a breath awakening the dormant potential of enlightenment within. The chant is both inhale and exhale, drawing in limitless life-force: showing that enlightenment is not far away, but already alive inside us.”

• Stories & Insights: Discover how Buddhism works as a compass to navigate challenges and bring out your best self.
• Community Connection: Meet people from all walks of life who are also curious about Buddhism.

Why Join?
• No pressure, no requirements—just an open door to learn and explore.
• A chance to relax, reflect, and leave feeling lighter.
• Bring your curiosity, and yes, children are welcome!

Atmosphere

We keep it fun, welcoming, and down-to-earth—think of it as a friendly gathering.
