Sunday, July 14
10:00-11:00am ET ~ Buddhist Prayers and Compassion with Rev. Lisa Solomon Please email templenews @tolit.org to request the zoom link, or come in person. Today, we will be looking at teachings on compassion by the Dalai Lama and Christine Feldman as well as looking at the writings on self-compassion by Kristen Neff. I will also be explaining about the Buddhist Four Immeasurables, as well as reciting the prayer, and leading us in a loving-kindness meditation taught by Sharon Salzberg. Please join us as we offer ourselves and others some much needed compassion. About the presenter: In 2004, I took refuge at the Tibetan Meditation Center in Gambril, MD. The Buddhist focus on loving- kindness and compassion speaks to my heart and mind. Buddhist practice has helped me grow in the skills necessary for rising to challenges with strength, peacefulness and love. |

10:00-11:00am ET ~ The Power of This Particular Now with Rev. Linda Goodman Please email templenews @tolit.org to request the zoom link, or come in person. Throughout time there have been certain inflection points when we have been poised at a tipping point that can shift the energy of our planet towards either chaos or peace. This Sunday is one of those points. Together with ceremony, prayer, and spiritual practice we will put our weight behind the movement towards peace. About the presenter: Rev. Linda is a minister, a mentor, and a musician and the current Presiding Minister of the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple. |
