Group Sharings
You are warmly welcomed to join Daya, Tim and Debbie for another lovely Thursday session.
Usually, the facilitators share their reflections, and then there is a question posed for discussion in our breakout groups, which is usually for around 20 minutes, followed by another beautiful guided meditation.
Daya and Tim will be opening and offering their sharings on the topic - The question for this session's discussions is:
'Obstacles sit both within us and outside of us. What are your obstacles to peace?'
We hope you can join us
Our theme for October 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
Understanding the Sutra: Verse 8
Whoever can see this
No longer needs anything to attain.
Understanding the Sutra: Verse 9:
Bodhisattvas who practice
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
See no more obstacles in their mind,
and because there are no more obstacles in their mind
They can overcome all fear
Destroy all wrong perceptions
And realize Perfect Nirvana.

Saturday Whole Group Sharing
You are warmly welcomed to join Tony, Maggie and Ana-Maria for a Saturday whole group sharing.
Usually, the facilitator will introduce the topic and offer their own reflections upon it and then the rest of the sangha are invited to share on it as well. If there is time, often conclude with a lovely guided meditation.
The question for the whole sangha's discussion is:
'Truth can only be found in life and not in the accumulation of notions. Is that so? What has been my experience? What challenges have I faced because of my belief in the knowledge I have?'

Deep Relaxation
Welcome our lovely COS family! Please join Judy and Adam for Total Relaxation.
Practicing Deep Relaxation as a community, led by an experienced practitioner, creates a wonderful energy of peace and harmony. It is a practice of totally letting go and returning back to take care of our body and mind. We use the breath as our anchor to help us.
Our breath is also like a wave, gently rocking us into deep peace. In this state of rest, our body and mind can release their burdens. A lot of healing happens when we let go and sink into this state of total relaxation. After learning how to practice Deep Relaxation, we may use it anytime we need to rest.
We hope you can join us.
