Dear Friends,
On Sunday July 9, there will be the opportunity to formally receive the Five Mindfulness Trainings, in a Transmission Ceremony. The Transmission will be offered by our four New York Dharma Teachers: Dennis Bohn [Rock Blossom Sangha]; Jeanne Anselmo [Green Island Sangha]; David Flint [Riverside Sangha, Queens Sangha] and Marjorie Markus [Riverside Sangha, Birdbath Sangha.]
The Five Mindfulness Trainings are “a concrete expression of the Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, the path of right understanding and true love, leading to healing, transformation, and happiness for ourselves and for the world. “
When we receive the Trainings in a Transmission Ceremony, we are supported and nourished by the collective energy of the Sangha.
You can receive only those Trainings you feel in accord with and committed to practicing, as well as receiving all Five Trainings.
Those who wish will receive a Dharma Name, along with the Certificate of Transmission. The Dharma Name reflects your aspirations and is an inspiration to stay connected to your aspiration. If you are interested in receiving the Trainings, and/or learning more about it, please contact:
David Flint, davidrflint@gmail.com, Marjorie Markus, marjoriemarkus@gmail.com, or Dennis Bohn, dbohn@pipeline.com
[If you do practice in a Sangha Meeting feel free to contact the one of us already known to you.]
