How To Care

Meditation Retreat

August 22-24, 2025

The theme of this retreat will be the nature of caring– how do we care, how can we cultivate genuine caring in our lives– for others, for ourselves, for all things?

With readings, brief talks, meditation practice activities, and open discussions sprinkled throughout the retreat, we will explore this important theme together as a Sangha.

Oṃ Amideva Hrīḥ

Special listening ceremony of the Amitabha mantra

Amitabha (his name means infinite radiance) is an archetypal Buddha who is supremely important in far eastern Buddhism. He represents love and compassion, and he is pictured as being the rich, warm color of the setting sun.

Amitabha is one of the so-called Dhyani-Buddhas, a set of five non-historical, symbolic figures who are arranged in a mandala. The other Buddhas in this set are Vairocana (center), Akshobhya (East), Ratnasambhava (South), and Amoghasiddhi (North).
