Opportunities to practice and serve

Welcome to all those who want to help the Sangha.

To ensure the smooth running of the activities of the Sangha and its development, there is much to do. Every thing that must be done is an opportunity to practice, an opportunity to give back to the Sangha, to make service in Mindfulness. There is no chore and no task. Only opportunities to practice and serve.

Just as vegetation is sensible to sunlight, mental formations are sensitive to mindfulness. Mindfulness is the energy that can embrace and transform all mental formations. Mindfulness helps us leave behind "upside-down perceptions" and wakes us up to what is happening.
