Semester 2008 Schedule of Events
 Mission
Statement
The
Lotus Meditation Center has been established as a
sacred space of peace and quiet. Members of the University
and Greater Grand Forks community are welcome to leave
their shoes at the door as is the tradition, sit quietly
and relax. As an inclusive place, persons of all faiths
-or none- are equally welcome.
LMC
is dedicated to contemplation and traditional meditative
practices. In addition to individual contemplation,
LMC will be used for group meditation with instructions,
teachings and occasional lectures and retreats supportive
of traditional meditative practices, some of which
may be religious in nature.
Religious
proselytizing and conversion efforts are prohibited.
All
activities are open to the public and will be held
in the spirit of mutual understanding and harmony.

Lotus
Traditionally,
the lotus grows in muddy ponds. When the shining flower
bud opens above the water, none of the mud adheres
to its petals. Lotuses have thus become symbols for
purity and virtue. The closed lotus represents our
potential for clarity, understanding and open-heartedness.
The open lotus represents the blossoming of hose qualities
in our life.
