On the weekend of June 18-19, 2016, DIMC Azusa organized the Middleway Weekend Meditation Retreat for locals to come meditate and take part in various activities organized by the Middleway Meditation Institute. This retreat attracted over 30 people who were interested in meditation and learning about the middle way technique as well as Universal Goodness so that they can use it in their every day lives. Activities included meditation practice, wisdom talk, bubble blowing, exercising, learning about Universal Goodness and applying it through workshops, etc. All the participants enjoyed being apart of this retreat because they got to learn about the importance of meditation and how to find the middle way. They also got to ask the monks questions about their meditation experiences and discuss any obstacles or difficulties they faced while meditating. Since this retreat took place on father’s day, there was a special activity for fathers as well. It was a peaceful and fun retreat for all and all had good experiences from this retreat. When the retreat was over, the participants went home with certificate of completion and new knowledge about meditation and Universal Goodness. Everyone went home happy and hope to be a part of the next treat that will be organized at DIMC, CA.
