Sal-Om all,
Thanks God for this past month and the celebration of the
Feast of Tabernacles. I have just returned from an
incredible week at the Mission Center in
Albuquerque and want to stress the importance of keeping our
focus on God through our meditation and service.
I
will be available to help and/or discuss the Mission
Meditation Process for those who may be interested in
giving a meditation class where they are, either online or
at a central location in their community.
Maitreya is especially interested in
starting such classes (which could also include yoga, Pilates, etc.)
at universities!
Also, if
those living in So. Fla. are interested in a meditation
class, please contact me for details. Furthermore, I will be working with more social
networking groups and will be available for discussion and
learning more about each one so that we can all benefit from
being a part of these groups and using them as an outreach
for the Mission. You may email me at
Tahirah7@peacemail.com.
This week I sent in an article to the Natural
Awakenings magazine (an interview with Maitreya on Daharma
from a
2001 Newsletter)
requesting publication.
A wonderful opportunity also arose while traveling to the
Mission. I was able to communicate with a few other
travelers and shared the Mission teachings and website
address for further study.
While at the Mission it was a wonderful privilege to have a day of service to the community. We picked up trash
and pulled weeds in an area near the center. These days of
service can be done randomly, or can be agreed upon and accepted by a
group or individual as to the day and time of the service. The idea is to give without expectation.
If we can donate at least 2 hours a week to some community
service in our area and know that God is indeed the Doer,
then we have released any expectation of praise. To give
is to receive.
If each of us can share the truth of these teachings and
work to
be(come) an example for others, we can all progress faster. Continuous study and practice of the ways of the
Eternal
Divine Path will help in this achievement. Let us set aside
ego for the Love of God, knowing that God is ALL.
Sal-Om,
Tahirah
