  We find ourselves in times of unprecedented uncertainties in society, in the natural world, and often in ourselves. In the midst of unease and anxiety, where can we find a reliable refuge? How can we create an inner sanctuary capable of withstanding the external instabilities? And how can we expand this sanctuary of the heart to include our families, friends, and ultimately, all living beings?
As a method that has been practiced for thousands of years, reciting Guan Yin Bodhisattva's name opens the door to the innate, everlasting refuge within. Invoked in times of danger and uncertainty, the quality of a compassionate heart and the wisdom of skillful means have the potential to turn peril into safety and fear into courage. Come join us in the woods of Buddha Root Farm, where we recite the name of Guan Yin and return to the refuge within. When: Sunday, July 10, 3:00 PM – Sunday, July 17, 9:00 PM, 2022 Location: Reedsport, Oregon For more information, please visit buddharootfarm.org. Please apply here. (Spaces are limited.)  Next Date: June 26, July 31, 2022
