Ithaca College Buddhist Community's First Meditation! 

09/06/10

Contributed by Christopher Accardo

 The IC Buddhist Community meets Tues., Sept. 14th, at 7:30pm at Muller Chapel!

All are welcome--Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike--to come learn about meditation and Buddhism! 

 The IC Buddhist Community is a non-denominational 'sangha' (Buddhist community), which seeks to 1) Give Buddhists a place to practice, learn, and teach, 2) Give all a moral support network, 3) Educate and dispel myths/stereotypes about Buddhism. 

We are entirely member run, and each meditation is led by a member of a different denomination of Buddhism. This presents all with the full scope of Buddhism and fosters education and harmony between our varying traditions. We also will have a new 'dharma' (Buddhist teachings) talk/discussion each week, where we will learn the dharma and see how this applies to our modern lives. The dharma talk this week: "What it means to be Buddhist." 

ALL are welcome to attend our meetings--Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. All can benefit from meditation and Buddhist philosophy without converting. Our goal is NEVER to convert others--Buddhism celebrates the beauty of religious diversity, while staying true to its own practices. 

So come join us Tues., Sept. 14th, at 7:30pm at Muller Chapel if you're interested. If you have questions, contact us via:
