Upon entering these temple grounds you may notice the friendly faces among the quiet, grass laden, flower lined, small golden domed structure in the heart of Central Phoenix. The hush of church applies inside - not only in regard to piety, but more over because these devotees engage in meditation. Often before and after the service of their own recognizance - and always as a small part of the Sunday ritual. After the community announcements the congregation engages in prayer, chanting and the brief meditation, making way for the Brother to lead the lecture with the word of the day. A round of fiscal support is followed, again, by prayer and chanting with an Indian style musical accompaniment. It's a compassionate, heart centered practice and teaching - sans judgement in regard to all other practices or religions. Truth seekers from all religions are welcome here - as they, themselves, are not listed as a religion. The crux of the teachings lies in it's weekly lessons as taught by the lineage of it's founders with a strong focus on meditation thereby realizing for ones self the inherent, intrinsic, benefits and treasures that lie therein. It's my all time favorite place of worship!
