"You could labor ten years under a master

Trying to discern whether

the teachings are true.

But all you might learn is this:

One must live one's own life."

 

"You must express yourself, take action in the world, create new circumstances

for yourself and others. Only then does the long acquisition of skill become worthwhile. Each teaching must be tested and proved to yourself before you can believe it."

 

365 TAO Meditations by Deng Ming-Dao

  

   

MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

 

Today no one can be an expert at everything as people were during the Renaissance. However, we can be part of a Renaissance Team. When each member contributes his or her gifts, great things happen.

 

As a child I attended orchestra rehearsals with my Dad. I saw how it took every instrument to create beautiful music. At our Spiritual Center, each of you is invited to play your part to see what we can create together.

 

Our Ministerial Team & Board of Trustees are listening for your creative offerings. Together we can build The Beloved Community where people of all ages, races, religions, life styles and capabilities are welcomed, included and LOVED.
