Day of Mindfulness: The Rise of Maitreya Buddha

We will take a deep dive with the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the manifestation of Loving Kindness. The manifestation of loving kindness is more urgent now than ever in our thinking, speech and action.

Dr. Peggy Rowe Ward and Dr. Larry Ward are internationally known senior dharma teachers ordained by peace activist and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Deeply inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh, they have committed their lives to non-violent social change, healing, and transformation at all levels - individual to global. Peggy and Larry transmit a rare combination of academic, lived, and embodied wisdom that helps actualize healing for self and community. Their background in Buddhist practice, justice/service work, psychology, corporate coaching, education, trauma/resiliency training and somatics creates a powerful dynamic for healing and change. Peggy and Larry are founders of The Lotus Institute and co-authors of the book, Love's Garden: A Guide to Mindful Relationships.
