attend regular meditation sessions at a Buddhist temple

In my first course in nursing, we were given a cultural project- we had to attend a service or experience of another culture. My group chose to go to Carrollton to the Buddhist temple there.

I haven’t ever forgotten the experience. The chanting of the monks, the quite surroundings. Something about taking off your shoes and being he presence of someone so peaceful…it’s humbling. I’m an ardent atheist, but I do believe that there’s a benefit to the mind to take time to clear it, or to concentrate on something other than day to day life.
