TAKING REFUGE IN THE
SANGHA OF YOUR HEART
First Friday in September
Dharma with Brian and the Treasure Root Sangha
At the Pink House
For those of you, who are searching for something to do on The First Friday Night of September, search no more! If you already have plans, but not till later in the evening come to the Pink House for an appetizing few hours of Dharmic Activity. The evening will certainly include silent sitting, walking meditation, maybe a Dharma Talk, and a circle for Deep Listening. Bring your open heart, and your open mind--if you need help opening your heart and mind come and the Sangha (community of practitioners) will support you.
"Everything we cherish and hold dear today, we will have to let go of and be separated from in the future...I urge you to practice being an island unto yourself...Practice taking refuge in the Dharma...Meditate on the body in the body, nourishing Right Understanding and mindfulness to master and transform your cravings and anxieties. Observe the elements outside the body in the elements outside the body...That is the way to take refuge in the island of self, to return to yourself in order to take refuge in the Dharma, and not to take refuge in any other island or thing."
