Flowing Rivers is an Ottawa area practice group committed to presenting and supporting authentic, skilful and socially engaged Buddhist practice following the Tendai style. We offer a year-round bi-weekly practice space and welcome those who wish to learn about and practice in a traditional Dharma environment. Over recent years Japanese Tendai has approved temples, centers and sangha outside of Japan and as a result Tendai Buddhist Institute in USA is the ordination platform for priests in America and Europe. Rev. Innen Parchelo is our local ordained priest who leads sessions during the fourth Wednesday of every month, providing Dharma lessons. The uniqueness of our tradition comes from the inclusiveness of the One Vehicle, the Ekayana. All Buddhist teachings and practice-forms are utilized because each of us come to the Buddhist Path with different experiences, different karma. In Tendai, every single individual is met, helped and guided, where they are, as they need it. WHAT'S ON THIS MONTH? Mindfulness !! Wednesday, March 23rd we will be holding an Oryoki demonstration. Oryoki is a formal, meditative meal practice used for centuries by Buddhists to develop skills of mindfulness, gratitude and an understanding of self. Interested people are encouraged to make a reservation in order to participate. Space is limited. Contact Don at 613-836-4073. Walk in support of the environment - we're planning an inter-faith walk in support of the environment to highlight concerns around suffering that results from climactic change. The walk will promote faith-based input to public policy on this issue. Details to be announced. If you are interested in participating as a member of a faith group, kindly contact Don.
