What moves us?
We have been seriously blessed with strong monastic allies
from the Tibetan Buddhism Tradition. Many of you have felt the emotional
devotion with the drawing and dissolution of Sand Mandalas, experienced moments
of stillness with their chanting meditations, and sensed the power of
transforming Puja ceremonies.
In August and September 2017, the Drepung Gomang Monk Tour
added Santa Barbara community to its focus. It was a good time to prepare the
community for what was to come. We also relished the Green Tara mandala
orchestrated at the Masonic Lodge in SLO melding with ceremonies of solidarity
with Charlottesville. During the total eclipse, Paso Robles was not obscured as
the timely presence of Medicine Buddha aligned for a Peace week. Amidst the
beginning of the school year, Cuesta College received teaching for Peace and
Unity as they used the Mandala to cultivate an understanding of unity. And
reflecting on insightful art and dialogue Alan Hancock College gave sanctuary for teachings
of loving kindness.
While they came for us we now have our own opportunities to
steep ourselves in the practices, bring clarity to our lives, and humbly
address the gifts that we have been given from the Drepung Monks.
The extensive meditation teaching offered by Robert Sachs in
the practice of Medicine Buddha is currently being offered @EarthTones .
Meditation is a vessel to help shift your consciousness, dedicate your efforts
(work, prayer, creativity) and bring a depth of healing to your journey. Each
week, (Wednesdays at 6:30) he guides an understanding of the history and
practice of the ancient work, the philosophy of curative power of the mind, and
the capacity to build a true connection of your efforts with the profound
energy field of loving kindness.
