The Lotus Organization of the Buddha, Christ and Tao
Weekly Scripture Reading Groups (by teleconference)
The
Lotus Organization sponsors group readings of the great essentialist
scriptures. Here together, we read the words of Buddha, Christ,
and Tao
Masters as well as from master lineage holders. Often there will
be a discusion for questions, supposed realizations, and try to
ascertain the accurate meaning. The
Monday group reads the teachings of the Buddha and of Buddhist Masters.
The Wednesday group reads the Bible. The Saturday group reads the
authentic teachings of the Tao.
These
gatherings are often done by telephone, and the
only cost to you would be any long distance charge you would
normally incur, if any. The Lotus Organization does not receive
renumeration for, these events.
The
Monday group reads the teachings of the Buddha, both exoteric and
esoteric. The Wednesday group studies the Bible. There is a seperate
energetic awakening class at the same teleconference number shortly
before this class for those who are interested. Thirdly, there is group
on Saturday that meets to study the teachings of the authentic Tao.
Scheduled Reading
Some people are attending only one of the three scripture readings. Others are involved in more than one. Everyone does the same
reading during the week to prepare. Please
speak to Dr. Moore, (marilyn@thelotus.org) for the reading schedule for
the particular class you wanted, so that you can get the text and
read in advance of the class.
A Typical Scripture Reading Class
Most
of these meetings begin with a picking of a reader, followed by the
reading, followed by open discussion: that's it. The order might be
different, like say, the discussion might be first. Everyone is
encouraged to ask honest, difficult questions, especially the ones that
seem bothersome. People are also welcome to remain silent if they
prefer anonymity.Usually
each telephone group meeting lasts is between 12 and 25 minutes.
Sometimes I (Sol Ta Triane) will attend and give explanations or answer
questions. These
readings are truly amazing and mind-blowingy beneficial for those who
approach it in the right way. The benefit is so great it can't be
measured, even with a
super-computer, but again, only if there is real understanding.About Your Various Phone Plans
Major phone plans should function fine for these calls. If
you wish to circumvent some long distance charges
for the meeting, ex. if your long distance plan is exceptionally
expensive, you might try Skype, but do not
use Vonage or Magic Jack. These will not work with our conference call.
Low cost plans from One Communications and Metro PCS and such also unlikely
to work or may have problems here. When you call in, if you punch in
the code too quickly, it won't take. So take your time putting in the access
code! If you get a bad line, which happens once in a great while, just call
back in.
If
you have any background noise whatsoever, please mute your phone. If
you need to ask a question you'll have to remember to unmute. Just call
in and use common sense as to not hinder the group that may hear you.
Thanks.
If you seriously ask, seek or knock, the door will be open!
