August Meeting Notes

Hello Everyone,

To those who attended our meeting yesterday, thank you for showing up to support our special guest Julie Larson -- wasn't she awesome? It was our best meeting yet, no doubt about that. We'll ask her back again sometime so those who couldn't make it can hear her wonderful experience and insight.

I took some notes that I will share with you here. And please let me know if you have any breakthroughs after that powerful daimoku we ended our meeting with. Julie, Audra and I all chanted that everyone in our group would have breakthroughs after yesterday's meeting, and that includes those of you who weren't there -- our daimoku is not restricted by...well, anything!

FYI: I'm going to schedule next month's meeting a week early, on 9/23, since I will be out of town the last weekend in September.

MY NOTES:

*Buddhism - is it your identity or your practice?
*You have to create victory
*Happiness lies in winning
*Completely devote yourself to the struggle
*It's hard to chant for things you can't imagine but remember that our practice is unlimited
*Chant specifically
*Get out of survival mode and into victory
*Realize what your suffering is
*Master your mind and overcome your emotions while chanting
*Bring desire and expand your life...embrace/revive
*Don't slander yourself
*I will show proof of Buddhism in difficult times
*CHANT HONESTLY


Have a great week, I look forward to hearing some good news from you soon!

Best,
