Multifaith Day, Sunday June 27: Buddhism

Theme:  The afternoon program will include a talk on the Buddhist practice of mindfulness and how it can help us alleviate stress and tension, and cultivate joy and inner peace. The leader will then lead a guided 30-minute mindfulness meditation, which will be followed by time for personal meditation practice (walking and sitting).  We will close with a time of sharing and a brief period for questions and discussion.
