Being Beautiful and the Way of Generosity

  • The Living Mantra 125 Catalpa Street Santa Cruz, CA, 95062 United States (map)

All around us the world overflows with richness: stunning sights to behold, captivating sounds to hear, intoxicating fragrances to inhale, exquisite tastes to savor, and pleasing textures to touch. Inside us, the world of the heart and mind also overflows with a treasury of emotions, thoughts, and feelings.

From the point of view of a meditator, life is abundant. Just to experience this abundance, this feast of the senses, brings deep gratitude. We are always receiving this generosity. To know that such wealth is always coming in relaxes and relieves the heart. It also inspires us to live with a spirit of generosity. Living generously, in the eyes of a meditator, is true beauty.

This meditation and talk includes guided meditation, dialogue, and a ceremony of generosity.  All are welcome. Participants are invited to bring flowers, fruit, candles, incense, drinks, baked goods, and any other delicacies for the ceremony.

$20 donation welcomed. All invited, regardless of funds.
