Young Lotus Youth Group

The Young Lotus Youth Group is an international group for adolescence between the ages of 12 – 17 with the purpose of promoting peaceful relationships through the teachings of the Buddha. Youth today face many challenges such as bullying, climate change, school violence, racial and religious prejudice and more. These events oftentimes result in depression, low self-esteem, and hurtful behavior. Sadly. these challenges are often amplified through social media.

Buddhas teachings, the Dharma, support inclusiveness, compassion, and empathy for all. It is through the Buddhas teachings our youth nurture their well-being and manifest a sense of balance and the mindful perspective necessary for a joyful life.

Our youth are also positively engaged within their communities through various service activities such as food drives, school supply drives, mentorship, removing litter from parks and more.

A statement of faith or other proclamation is not necessary to join.

Weddings

The joining of two beings that are in love is such a special occasion. We are pleased to offer you legal wedding officiation with a Buddhist feel to your special event.

We recognize that in some instances it may be hard to find an officiant, therefore as promotors of lovingkindness, we welcome all who are legally entitled to wed with love.

There is no fee for this service.

Home Blessings

Done in the mornings so as to nurture the auspiciousness of the occasion, we are pleased to bless your home so as to invite health, prosperity, well-being and to drive away evil, negativity, and sorrow.

End Of Life

All that we see and experience is impermanent, including our loved ones. During these emotional times it's important that we celebrate their life with love and fond remembrance. We warmly proved funerary and memorial services to all who ask.

Incarcerated Outreach

The Dharma is a wonderful vehicle to foster awareness to the beauty of life, no matter where you may physically be. Following the Three Jewels, The Five Precepts, and The Four Noble Truths, one’s life may shift from uncertainty and despair to joyful awareness. If you or a loved one is currently incarcerated and would like Dharma instruction we would be more than pleased to meet.

Interfaith Outreach

We are all brothers and sisters and share a common existence regardless of religion, faith, or philosophy. In the spirit of community, lovingkindness, and understanding, all faiths are welcome to share space with us. You are warmly invited to reach out to us for more details.

“The jewel of community, the Sangha, is to be held equal to the Buddha and the Dharma. Indeed, the whole of the holy life is fulfilled through spiritual friendship.”
