About this event

Join us every Sunday at the Georgia Meditation Center for day full of gaining merit.

There are many ways to gain merit that can be summed up into three basic practices; generosity, keeping the 5 moral precepts, and meditation. Every Sunday we have the opportunity to participate in all 3 practices. We must try to achieve these practices so that we can continue to cultivate good deeds and merit into our lives.

You are welcome to come anytime that is most convenient.

What is the cost?

No cost. We do accept donations though but it's voluntary

Do I need to be Buddhist?

Absolutely not, but we do recommend to have an open mind since wisdom talk generally deals with dharma knowledge which means essentially understanding the truth of the world as discovered through meditation and taught by the Buddha.

Is there meditation?

Generally we have a guided meditaiton about 5-10 minutes before the wisdom talk, but this can vary depending on teacher.

Organized by

Georgia Meditation Circle

The Georgia Meditation Circle an affiliate of the Georgia Meditation Center promotes meditation and spiritual awareness. It is said that all happiness, ordinary and sublime, is achieved by understanding and transforming our own mind. The mind is not a physical thing that has thoughts and feelings; it is the totality of our conscious & unconscious experiences.

Join us every Wednesdays to learn the method for stilling the mind, we also invite all members to join us for Sunday Service. We look forward to meeting you!
