Tuesday Evening and Upcoming Zazenkai

This Tuesday evening we will again be meeting for meditation, discussion, and liturgy. Click on "When" to see the schedule.

Speaking of the schedule, our next all-day Saturday zazenkai is scheduled for May 21st. Please put it on your calendar. Anyone who is completely new should attend a Tuesday evening session before participating in zazenkai, but experienced meditators are invited to attend. If you can't come for the whole day, you're welcome to participate in as much of the schedule as you can. Click on "When" to see the schedule for the day.

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.
