Join our Day of Mindfulness with the theme Mindfulness in Everyday Life this Saturday, March 14, 9:30-3:30pm at the Buddhist Temple of Southern Alberta.
It's been almost one year since the Plum Village monastics visited Lethbridge, sharing their teachings and practices with much wisdom and love.
Our sangha is a continuation of them and of our dear teacher Thich Nhat Hanh.
Come spend the day with us as Sensei Roland gives a dharma talk on Buddhism in Everyday Life, and we practice together: sitting and walking meditation, deep relaxation, and songs to inspire peace.
