From Brahma to Buddha: Spring 2009

We spent 10 days at Tushita participating in a Introduction to Buddhism silent meditation retreat. Our days were filled with teachings of basics of Buddhism and meditation. The meditation allowed us to experience what we learned in class. Each of us had karma yoga job such as cleaning the toilets (always fun!), recording the sessions (that was an easy one!), and the best job - ringing the gong! Thank you Sonam and Jess! Even now, after the retreat is over we are doing our best to implement what we learned into our daily lives especially when it comes to attachment (we love our chocolate cake), impermanence, and compassion.

Here is a picture of all the wonderful people we met on the course. If you are reading this, please keep in touch!
