Indigo Dye & Intro to Buddhism Event Series

August 17 @ 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Buddhism is based on cause and effect, and Buddhist faith emerges from our own real-world experience. Join us for some of your own actual experience — both with Buddhism and with indigo dyeing!

We will conduct two Introduction to Buddhism Meetings on Saturday, August 17th. Before each meeting we will have indigo dye sessions where everyone can turn handkerchiefs into beautiful indigo-dyed cloth squares.

There is no cost to participate. Please RSVP through this Google Form. 

Schedule and Topics 

(1:00pm Indigo Dyeing begins)

2:30pm Introduction Meeting: How to Maintain a Stable Mind in an Unstable World
We all have dreams and goals that we wish to reach in our lifetime, but it may feel like our busy lives and challenging circumstances are holding us back from achieving them. In this meeting, we learn about the significance of actualizing a stable mind through Buddhist practice. By developing stability of mind we can flexibly navigate the instability of life and expand our capacity to reach our greatest potential. We hope you’ll join us for this popular subject and share your questions and experiences with us

(4:30pm Indigo Dyeing begins)

6:00pm Introduction Meeting: The Oneness of Life and its Environment
We often underestimate the impact of our actions on the world around us, however, the Buddhist principle of ‘Esho Funi’ teaches us about the oneness of life and its environment, and the influence that we give and receive through that relationship. Come learn together about the positive effects of Buddhist practice in our lives as individuals, and in the world at large. As we develop the peace and stability of our minds it surely supports the peace and stability of our environment. We look forward to learning more about this important subject with you.
