MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – Middletown Middle Way Sangha, a newly formed Buddhist study and practice group, has begun in Middletown.

People from all Buddhist Traditions are invited to join and participate in sittings and talks.  

The proposed structure for the weekly sessions is to first sit for a half hour of silent meditation, followed by a short (15 minutes or so) dharma talk or reading from any Buddhist text.

Buddhist practitioners from many diverse traditions and practices are invited. A voluntary rotation system would be ideal as to the specific talks and/or readings, i.e. during one session, a person may volunteer to provide the talk/reading for the following week’s session.

The group’s vision for a balanced offering of Buddhist practice sees opportunities for inner meditation and transformations, the study of Buddhist teachings and their application as a way for the unfolding of the Budhha, Dharma and Sangha in people’s lives.  

These sessions and talks are offered freely to all, experienced, newcomers and those interested in learning about the Buddhadharma with the goal of creating a strong sense of community, thus the word “Sangha” in the name.

The group is meeting from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays at the HUM Cooperative Center, located in the Middletown Plaza near the high school and gas station, 21037 Calistoga St., No. 8.

Chairs are available, but please bring mats/cushions as they are in the process of acquiring mats for people without them.
