Sunray Mediation Society
Dear :

It has been more than a month since our last e-mail.  That is because we have been working very hard on a new website for Sunray Meditation Society.  It is finally here.   You can find it at the same place we've always been -- www.sunray.org. 
 
There are many new features.  First, you can now download some of the teachings of Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo directly to your computer, I-Pod, MP3 player, or phone.  Our 8-session program, Deep Peace and the Healing of the World is available in individual segments.  The Sunray Basic Meditation and Star Weaving is also available.  More teachings will be added in coming months.
 
Second, our Events tab is now updated to include the 26th Annual Elders Gathering.  More about this is below. 
 
Third, we have added links to the many Sunray communities in North America and Europe.  We hope that you connect with one or more of them, for meditation practice, Peacekeeper Training, or just to find a kindred spirit. 
 
Fourth, you will now find the Sunray Peace Village blog integrated right into the home page of the website.  You can click on any entry title and see the full piece on the blog. 
 
Fifth, Sunray is going to begin using various social media outlets to convey messages, and help build community.  We have a You Tube channel.  So far, this includes a video description of the Deep Peace program, an excerpt from the Peace Village Elders documentary that is in the works, and an excerpt of a Buddhist teaching by Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo.  We are also on facebook and twitter, though just in our infancy.  Venerable is also on facebook.
 
Sixth, as before, you can forward this e-mail to others to encourage them to join our mailing list.  And we certainly hope you will make a generous donation to Sunray to further the work of Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo and the Society.  Among other things, we are raising money to support the visit of His Holiness Chetsang Rinpoche, who will be consecrating the Vajra Dakini Nunnery, and spending a day at the Peace Village in September.  Please help us make a generous offering by specifying on your donation what it is for.
 
If you have any comments or questions, please e-mail us at info@sunray.org. 
 
We thank you.

We Are Relatives in the Dance of One 
 
All beings are our relatives in the dance. Through the pulse beat of our hearts, the pulse of the earth, the sun and our galaxy the body-mind ability to transform matter is revealed. The increased flow of energy from the galactic heart moves the earth, moves concepts and restores access to spiritual sovereignty.
Many scientists are finding that consciousness appears as non-localized nor seated in the brain. The coherency of light moving within the cells appears as basic consciousness.
 
The intention of this year's Elders Gathering is to observe our unity in the field of mind and to energize skillful mental states, accessing the celestial awareness. To access skillful mental states, which unwind and reveal galactic consciousness and the coherency of consciousness as light moving through all appearances in the dance.
