New Beginnings

It has been several weeks since I have had a chance to post to this blog, and the reason is simple: our Sangha has recently transitioned from our old practice space at the Cherrydale Volunteer Fire Department, to a new and better place at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington. Our Sangha is having a new beginning.

The space at Cherrydale was a good place to start, but after 16 months there, it was becoming pretty clear that 8 am on Sunday mornings was just not going to work for most people. For us to grow and fulfill our mission to bring Tendai Buddhism to the mid-Atlantic region, we concluded that we had to find another place where we could meet at a time that was more congenial to people’s schedules.

And so, I am happy to announce that our Sangha has transitioned to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington. We are meeting in The Walden Room on Tuesday nights at 7 pm. The space is definitely much smaller than the Dance Hall at the Cherrydale VFD, but it is infused with the spiritual energy of the Unitarian church. Even better, the UU Church of Arlington also hosts a sitting group from the Insight Meditation group of Washington, so were are able to share some synergy with another group of Buddhists.

Our new meeting space is a marked improvement over our previous circumstances, and our new meeting time on Tuesday nights at 7 pm will prove to be more convenient for most people. Come and see us sometime, we would love to meet you.
