                            Buddha Matters Salon

                            Once each month we meet for an evening of fellowship and conversation to deepen our practice and the connections within the community.  The evening begins with the sharing of a meal at 6:30 p.m. A vegetarian option is always available.  After dinner, we may watch a movie, discuss a reading, share poetry.  We invite you to join us for this casual, relaxing evening.  No experience is necessary to attend.  This event is held offsite, directions will be provided when you let us know you are coming.  A donation is requested to help with the cost of food.  For more information or to RSVP, call 602-904-5270 or click here.

                            Buddha and You

                            We invite you to join us for an evening of conversation and fellowship
                             to deepen our practice and to strengthen our community.

                            "Now I see that all beings have the nature of the Buddha,
                            only their delusions and attachments prevent them from realizing this fact."
                            The Buddha had meditated all night and when he looked up he really saw the
                            morning star and everything changed for him.

                            Each  December we tell the ancient tale of the Buddha, meditate and find our
                            place in the story.  For those who have done it before,
                            we notice that each year our place in the story changes and our relationship to the story
                             and our own inner life grows. The Buddha's story is our story and his mysterious journey
                            to awakening is also ours.
                             
                            Please join us.
