Orlando Insight Meditation Group

A Contemporary Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation Community For Central Florida

Wednesday Night Meetings

by | Mar 17, 2020 | Classes, News

Sangha meetings are held every Wednesday evening from 7pm to 9pm and can be attended in person or via zoom. 

The in person meetings are held at Peter Carlson’s home at 1818 Carrigan Ave., Winter Park, FL 32789. For those who haven’t been to the site, the house is the only one on the block with a sheet metal roof.  Park on the street or in the driveway—please be considerate of the neighbor’s property.  Walk to the left of the garage and through the gate in the chain link fence; the cottage in the back yard is where we meet.

We will meditate in silence from 7 to 7:45, then, after a break, the Dharma talk will begin.

There will be a small box near the front door for dana, the practice of donating to the teacher out of gratitude for the teaching.  The contribution is not required, and the money will be used to maintain the building and pay for the Zoom subscription.  There is a lending library of Dharma related books in the cottage that operates on a trust basis.

Dana for a committed teacher

by | Jan 7, 2020 | Compassionate Action, News

I have known Andy Quinn for 25 years or more; I introduced him to mindfulness of breathing meditation and he is now the founding teacher for the Lakeland Meditation Group.  Andy has registered for a one month retreat later this year at the Forest Refuge, an important meditation center where I have practiced long retreats within before.  He and his wife are putting a daughter through college and it is stretching their budget for him to go to this retreat.  He created a GoFundMe page to support this spiritual practice and my wife Paula and I have contributed $100 to support his efforts–May the merits of his practice benefit everyone he meets!  If you know Andy and want to contribute to his spiritual development and the advancement of the Lakeland Sangha, please consider a contribution.  Here is the URL to the GoFundMe website:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/andy-quinn-long-meditation-retreat-2020

I wish you well.  Peter
