- Unobstructed, never limited of confined by the thoughts or feelings arising within it
- Omnipresent, always immediately available, and extending in all directions
- Impartial, allowing everything to be what it is
- Vast, extending infinitely beyond all the mind’s limitations
- Formless, unable to be contained within any conceptual box
- Pure, uncontaminated by anything that arises within it
- Stable, neither arising nor passing away, but the ever-present ground of all passing experience
- Beyond existence, for it cannot be located in any definite way
- Beyond nonexistence, for it is not simply nothing, but rather a clear, bright presence
- Ungraspable, for it cannot be fixed or held on to in any way
Meditation opens a gateway into this larger space by relaxing our tendency to identify with the thoughts and emotions that usually fill it up.
Looking forward to your presence.

Mind is like empty space…
When the sun rises… empty space does NOT gain in brightness
When the sun sets… empty space does NOT darken
Light and dark are just phenomena within empty space that alternate with each other…
BUT the nature of empty space itself remains unchanged
~Zen Master Huang Po
Sunrise and sunset within empty space –
is like our thoughts and emotions (i.e., mental activity)
rising and setting within our minds.
Looking forward to your presence.

Seventh Month Special
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
Are there really ghosts?
What did the Buddha talk about ghosts?
What is the significance of the Seventh Month for our Spirituality?
Come join us on Fri, 28 Aug and let’s talk about the Seventh Month and ghosts. Feel free to bring your loved ones and friends.
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn,
A bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp,
A phantom, & a dream
~ The Buddha
Looking forward to your presence.
