August 6 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – “In Love with the World”

Jeff Goin, from the Lotus Center will speak about "In Love with the World" a true story by Yongey Mingyur in which the author, unbeknownst to his students and attendants, leaves the comfort of his Buddhist monastery, under the cover of night, with little more than the clothes on his back, to undertake a "wandering retreat" of indefinite duration. While Yongey Mingyur's story is one of great courage, commitment, and trust, it also provides teachings -- by way of example -- on two of the most powerful, important cornerstones of Buddhist view and practice. 

“What are these two "cornerstones"? Find out by joining us on August 6, at 10:00 am, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship,” Goin said.

Jeff Goin is founder and administrator of Lotus Center. He has been teaching and leading non-denominational meditation in Silver City, on a volunteer basis, since 2008. His classes provide practical ideas and methods for improving relationships, overcoming anger, dealing with stress and, in general, establishing and maintaining a peaceful state of mind.

Goin is also co-founder of Single Socks, a non-profit thrift store in Silver City that donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to anti-hunger programs in Grant County, New Mexico. He has been a practicing Mahayana Buddhist since 1999.
