Mind is Creator

Hello Members,
Our present world is what Buddha called a "degenerate age." A degenerate age is marked by deliberate contamination of the natural environment; our own human pollution of the water that we drink; the unnecessary but unceasing destruction of our seas; the corruption of public officials, business and societal "leaders;" overt lying by people in positions of power; division everywhere,
constant war, constant conflict, growing indifference to the suffering of others, new illnesses and incurable diseases, the ascendance of money and material development as the measure of value and worth; disrespect for elders, women and children, and so forth. Welcome to our times.

Buddha also teaches that we are the creators of all of this degeneration, as we can be the creators of our own spiritual development and the uplifting of our world. The choice is always ours, individually and collectively. This is because "Mind is Creator, and the only creator is Mind."

Please join us in May and June for a deep plunge into this core teaching of Buddha, how it applies to our every day life, how we manifest examples of it every day in every minute, and the practical implications for achieving pure, peaceful and compassionate minds that are the only hope for a pure, peaceful and compassionate world.

No previous meditation experience is required. All are welcome, from those simply curious about Buddhist practice to more experienced practitioners looking to deepen or enhance their path.
