Cheerful Celebration Held for the Autumn Equinox: Harvest of Peace

Each year we come together as community to mark the changing of the seasons.

This year’s theme of the Sakyong’s talk was the concept of household, particularly how we relate to our households as practitioners and warriors in the Shambhala tradition. The Sakyong invites us to contemplate how we lead our daily lives in the context of enlightened rulership. For those unable to attend the celebration on Saturday, you may listen to the talk by following the link below.

Thank you to all who were able to attend the Harvest of Peace Celebration at the Brunswick Shambhala Center on Saturday.

What a lively crowd it was! The Shambhala Sadhana practiced together offered a true sense of community for the day. The feast was bountiful, thanks to all the dishes members brought to share.

Some feedback heard:

“ It was a great Harvest of Peace party in Brunswick for those that missed it.  The Shambhala Sadhana is something I would recommend to any have not experienced it! “

“What a wonderful gathering yesterday. “
