Welcome to the Broward Lotus Sangha
A ‘Sangha’ is a community of practitioners that gets together to meditate, practice mindfulness, and socialize with a focus.
The Broward Lotus Sangha (BLS) is a meditation group in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, who was nominated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for the Nobel Peace Price back in the 60s when they were working together to end the war in Vietnam and promote peace on Earth.
Our community of practitioners meets every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Po Chi Lam Training Center, 7504 Pembroke Road, Pembroke Pines, FL. The door is open around 6:30 PM to set up and practitioners should be arriving by 6:45 PM so they can say ‘hello’, find a comfortable place to sit and relax while listening to the music. Silent meditation starts at 7:00PM. If you arrive after that, please come in quietly. (We will be talking again by about 7:30 when our walking meditation commences). Please click here for directions to the Sangha’s meeting location. You may also wish to learn more about sitting and walking meditation and our typical night’s program.
At the end of the meditation gathering we usually share some tea and treats and, whenever possible, go out to dinner nearby afterwards. In order to be kind to the Earth Mother, please bring your own non-disposable teacup (disposable ones are usually provided by the Sangha).
COME MEDITATE WITH US AT THE BROWARD LOTUS SANGHA!
May our Sanghas continue to flourish and shine their light into all that is.
