“In each of us there is a river of perceptions flowing day and night. To meditate means to sit on the bank of the river and observe all perceptions. With the energy of mindfulness, we can see the nature of our perceptions and untie the knots that bind us to our wrong perceptions. All our suffering has its roots in our wrong perceptions, so please practice the mantra, “Are you sure?” Always refer to it, and try to look more and more deeply. Our views can be more or less wrong.” Thich Nhat Hanh

“Touching the seeds of peace, stability, and compassion.”

Dana

Giving (dana) is an essential Buddhist practice. It is about generosity, openness, and our capacity to embrace others with compassion and love. MPC is able to maintain our online presence, our in-person location, and all special events because of the generosity of volunteers and the donations or dana from our beloved community. Dana can come in the form of etransfers to mindfulnesspracticecommunity@gmail.com or at all in-person events. If you are unable to contribute financially, your smile, your practice, and your generous and open heart are enough. You are enough.
