We are a group of sincere, warm-hearted Buddhist practitioners studying Mahayana & Vajrayana Buddhism. We provide newcomers to Buddhism as well as established practitioners an opportunity to study, cultivate, learn practices, and meditate.  Buddhism provides us with tools to discover the true nature of reality as we analyze and reflect upon our lives to understand the causes and conditions that shape the world around us, discover how to uproot negative emotions and habitual patterns, and learn h …

This group is for those interested in the Pali Buddhist Texts, principally the Nikayas in Pali and in English translation, the Pali language and the ideas and concepts embodied in the texts. We meditate but this is not a meditation group.  We agree with Warder who said "...it must still be said the the Pali Texts themselves are the only reliable authority as to their meaning...the meanings of the key terms cannot be guessed at, nor determined by etymology...they must be elucidated by a delicate …

… I created this group because I found that there was a lack of Buddhist/spiritual meetups that incorporated the social/entrepreneurial element. There are plenty of groups that focus on meditation and discussion which are obviously important foundations for practice, but hanging out and having some fun outside the meditation hall is just as rewarding and important. As the name suggests, Bodhi Lounge is a social/entrepreneurial meetup for Buddhists, or anyone interested in meeting Buddhists and le …
