Meditation is not only for quieting and relaxing the mind.  It is for creating what you want in life.  Meditation makes this possible by helping you to have a clearer intention and to use your attention more effectively.  When you have a clear intention this is positively aligned with others' benefit, your energy is strong and focused, your intention will have a greater resonance not only with other people but also with the responsive universe itself.

We plan on having lots of things to do mainly on the weekends. We will do dinner and movies, museums, concerts, hiking, theater, and whatever else we as a group can think to do.

So any young-minded women, single, married, or otherwise, who wants to get out and be social with a bunch of fun women is welcome to join!

Zen Buddhism is becoming very popular in the US due to it very direct, upfront and empirical approach to understanding Buddhism and how it can benefit us. Zen attracts many different people, from all walks of life, because of its non-dogmatic, yet simple way it teaches the dharma through meditation and discussion.
