If your heart is beautiful, your face will be beautiful, your life will be beautiful, everything will be beautiful.
- Swami Satchidananda
The Buddha's teachings are anchored in the cultivation of our hearts. No matter who we are, we have seeds of loving kindness, ready to be fed and grown and offered. It is through this friendliness, this opening of the heart, that we find contentment and peace. Join us for a night of meditation, dhamma, chanting and music all focused on metta (loving kindness).
All are welcome.
