Sangha Members Deepen Their Practice

Some of the 42 people who received transmission of
the 5 Mindfulness Trainings on March 23 

The Maine sangha, the community that lives in harmony and awareness, blossoms like a lotus. We had a wonderful transmission ceremony for the Five Mindfulness Trainings at the Day of Mindfulness with Joanne Friday in Augusta on Saturday.

The day included  a dharma talk and question and answer period from Joanne, mindful eating of our lunch in noble silence with a children's table, a mindful walk outside, and dharma sharing in the closing circle.  

Radical Compassion Retreat with Joanne Friday

This residential retreat will be held at idyllic Camp Aldersgate in northern Rhode Island and is open to all  sangha members. 

Joanne Friday, a Buddhist practitioner and teacher with over 20 years experience, has a special connection to our Portland, Augusta and Orono sanghas.
