OPEN POSITIONS in SANGHA:
Are you interested in service as practice and contributing to community?
Current open volunteer positions:
Egoless Cleaning Warriors for our Brunswick Center:
- Do you enjoy simple, uncluttered clean?
- Are you more likely to clean someone else’s home than your own?
- Do you find perverse satisfaction in the instant gratification of eradicating dust from the surfaces of furniture?
- Might you wonder in what new ways you might practice the 6 paramitas and then accomplish the first bhumi before you die?
- Are you OK with minimal social gratification while accumulating much dharmic merit and redirecting your future karma?
Our Brunswick Meditation Center is looking for a few more dedicated and egoless warriors to join our Cleaning Team.
Please contact Kathy Bither if you are interested.
