🌸 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗮𝘆 – 𝟭𝟴 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 🌸
Tashi Delek, dear Sangha family 💛
A gentle light filled the temple as we gathered for Sangha Inspiration Day — a day of reflection, sharing, and renewed dedication to the path.
✨ With a warm heart, Michel opened the afternoon by inviting everyone to arrive fully — with openness and joy.
🪷 Lama Rinpoché then offered a luminous teaching on the heart of Sangha:
“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘩𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘦, 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”
Every act of service — whether organizing, cleaning, or offering time — becomes an accumulation of merit. Though it appears to benefit others, it is we ourselves who receive the deepest blessing.
Rinpoché reminded us that even the simplest acts, when done with awareness, purify karma and ripen wisdom. Challenges, too, are opportunities to train the mind in patience, diligence, generosity, and love. 💫
He encouraged us to let go of judgment, open our hearts, and learn from one another — each culture and background adding its own beauty to the mandala of our Sangha. 🌍
💖 Khandrola spoke with heartfelt gratitude, recognizing the generosity already alive in each member. She encouraged us to welcome newcomers with gentleness and warmth — making the temple a home for all.
Looking ahead, Rinpoché shared beautiful inspirations for our future:
🌿 alternating Sunday teachings with sharing circles & workshops
🌿 trial lessons for newcomers
🌿 more opportunities for connection, care & outreach
Together, we wove a vision of a living, compassionate community — one that grows through listening, service, and joy.
As the day came to a close, hearts were light and spirits uplifted.
Gratitude flowed quietly through the room — for the Dharma, for our teachers, for one another. 🙏
🌸 May our Sangha continue to blossom in wisdom, harmony, and love.
🌸 May every offering, every word, and every breath serve the awakening of all beings.
