Meeting this Saturday morning -- Middle Way Buddhist

We will be having a nice meeting this Saturday morning with Bhante. Last time about 15 people came and we had a very good discussion and lunch. The lunch is potluck vegetarian. We start meditation on time at 9:30 am. It is a very nice environment, very peaceful. For those of you who have not come before, I think you will enjoy it very much.

Thanks and Amituofo! Tom Lacey

Bhante Dhammawansha

Born in the District of Kandy, Sri Lanka, Bhante Dhammawansha became a monk at the age of 16. He studied at the Buddhist University, where he received a B.A. degree in Buddhism, History, Ethics and the languages of Sanskrit and Pali. His travels have taken him to Scandinavia, Russia, Australia, India, Nepal and Thailand, where he has taught the study of Dhamma (the truth taught by Buddha). He traveled to the United States for a personal retreat in 1996 and now conducts buddhist counseling, engages in social and interfaith work, and presents talks on Dhamma for high school students and drug/alcohol rehabilitation centers.

Bhante Dhammawansha, whose quiet kindly nature welcomes all, is Dhamma Wheel Meditation Society's resident monk, president, and inspiring teacher.

He is usually available for conversation and questions after most of our meditations, discussions or events.
