Belmont Buddhist Community: Re-organizational Meeting

Re-organizational Meeting

The Belmont Buddhist Community has a new life, a new home, and is getting ready for a new start. There will be a re-organizational meeting for anyone interested in participating in the group on Thursday, 6 September, at 7pm. If you are interested in attending, please email us <vimamsaka@gmail.com> for directions.

The mission of the group is to:

~ Come together for meditation practice
~ Provide mutual support in the study of Buddhism
~ Cooperate in traveling to retreats outside the local area

BBC is lay-led by necessity, while recognizing the value of contact with a teacher and encouraging its members to take advantage of opportunities to work with teachers at retreats and other venues.

BBC is non-sectarian by choice, recognizing and striving to learn from the wisdom of all Buddhist traditions and lineages, but at the same time resisting the temptation of cafeteria Buddhism — picking and choosing the superficial and easy aspect of a tradition but resisting the deep and effortful aspects that are necessary for spiritual growth.

The goal of Belmont Buddhist Community is to encourage spiritual growth and development on the Buddha’s path in its members, for their own benefit and for the benefit of all sentient beings.
