Thank You So Much for Your Extraordinary Support.

See You at BuddhaFest 2011! 

A dozen films plus talks and meditation present a unique mix and fresh take on the principles of Buddhism. Highlights include a world-premiere film, an Academy Award-nominated documentary, talks by Tara Brach, Lama Surya Das and Sharon Salzberg, and a Picnic for Peace. 

The films present a wide-angle view of Buddhism in contemporary life, while the talks and meditations provide the opportunity to focus on    our own individual stories and the situations we face now.

This will be a simple, practical, and bold look at the profound ways in which meditation and the cultivation of mindfulness can transform lives.
