The Texas Sangha "The term "Sangha", means group or community of practitioners and also has the connotation of "not regressing". When Buddhism entered Tibet, it was translated as "Gendun". The first sylable "ge" means positive actions or virtue and the second "dun" means aspiration. So "gendun" are those who are both aspiring to perform postitive actions and are practicing the Dharma, the methods the Buddha gave towards what is positive." (Buddhism Today Vol. 7, pg 28) . Our Weekly MeetingsOur activity in Texas is based on the idealism and volunteer work of many people from all backgrounds. In addition to our weekly meditation/study schedule at the various centers, we all share in the work of hosting traveling teachers from all over the world (normally 4-6 of Lama Ole's students per year) for visits and lecture tours, planning large courses with Lama Ole and other Kagyu Lamas, and publicity with local newspapers and businesses. Aside from meditation, we also find time to get together for an occasional Sangha parties at the various centers. Contact The Center Closest To You
