Hi all Dharma friends

We would like to invite you to a Free 4-Week Shower Meditation Course (Stage 2 of 3) – 10 am – Tuesdays – June 20, 27 & July 4, 11.

Shower meditation is a meditation that washes and fills the whole body and mind with positive energy to purify, heal, and illuminate.

As the pure energy works its way down the body from the head, the negative energy is drained, and the body is cleansed and purified, and the mind becomes calm, relaxed, and peaceful.

Please join us for Stage 2 class of shower meditation with experienced Buddhist Kyomunim (Rev. InMyung and Rev. HeaJin) leading the meditation.

New Year Celebration – 108 (2023) – 1st January 2023

Dear all Dharma friends

We hope that you are all keeping safe and well, and enjoying the holiday season.

Here is one of Cardinal Master Chongsan’s sayings :

“Those who live only a life of gratitude will always receive assistance from the Fourfold Grace (The Grace of Heaven and Earth, The Grace of Parents, The Grace of Fellow Beings, The Grace of Laws) ; those who live only a life of resentment will always be harmed, even by worms and insects”

Even though in the new year, we will continue to face difficult times and challenges due to the increasing costs of living and supply shortages, amongst other things, let us make a renewed commitment to live a life of gratitude.

Let us celebrate the New Year with this renewed commitment of gratitude, and revival of our spiritual energy to cultivate and sustain our mind.

What a great opportunity to make tea with the leaves of these fruits, which has many health benefits.

Persimmon is rich in Vitamin C, and helps against headache, cold, stroke, dementia, and lowering blood pressure and blood sugar. Mulberry assists in lowering blood pressure, and preventing stroke and diabetes. Bipa is good for your gut and circulation.
