BEGINNING NOVEMBER 10, 2016,
5-6:30 PM in the Library at 18 Schoolhouse Rd. Conway, MA 01341.
The Lotus is an important symbol through out all the Buddhist lineages. We will be exploring the many facets of this precious symbol of enlightened perfection and goodness which we all possess.
Our newest Lotus Origami incarnation created by Brenda Lilly with the six-syllables of the Mani mantra written on the six petals with the HRIH in the center.
The building itself has special meaning to the town of Conway, MA as the first multi-class grammar school which was home to generations of children educated there. As a fitting gesture of goodwill , Khandroling Paper Cooperative on behalf of the Dzogchen Community will participate in the 250th Conway Town Anniversary Celebration to be held in 2017 with a Paper Lotus float and the distribution of thousands of handmade paper lotus blossoms.
[Brenda instructing Francine in the making of a small Lotus]
In dreams
they come with out-stretched hands
the color of malachite
giving, magnetizing
palms formed by leaf and wind,
torrential waters--
As they pass to me the lotus bud
grown up from mud
its stainless bloom
opening
[Rita Kaiser, Brenda Lilly and Nancy Paris, Summer Celebration, 2016]
We look forward to sharing this journey with you over the next year!
