We're a group of people of all faiths located in Temecula, California. We focus on not only meditating, but actively finding need and supplying aid. A few of our efforts: collecting pet food for distribution to needy seniors' pets through local Senior Centers, distributing donations of gently used clothing and non-perishable food items to homeless in Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore and Yucaipa California.
Membership in our group is open, and although we concentrate on the Inland Empire of Southern California, we find that acting locally is the best way to think globally. We encourage others in their own communities to step up and find the need and do whatever they can to help. Little by little this kind of thinking can make a big difference. Be A Bodhisattva!
Here is a little story to illustrate what Bodhisattvas strive to do.
Three men were walking through the desert. They were lost and about to die from thirst and hunger.
They come to a very high wall and the first one climbs up, shouts for joy and jumps over the wall never to return.
The next man climbs up the wall and he too, exclaims in ecstasy, jumps off the wall and never comes back.
Now the third man climbs up the wall. He gets to the top and sees a sort of Garden of Eden place with water and lots
of fruit trees. He smiles, turns, goes back down the wall, returning to the desert to help others find their way to this
paradise. He chooses to go back into the desert of the world and help others find their way.
