In the Christian tradition, Lent is a 40 day season of self-examination and repentance before the celebration of Easter. At Living Christ Sangha we seek to become more diligent in our practice during Lent by observing it as an abbreviated period of ango. We do this by seeking to increase our daily meditation and mindfulness practice, and by undertaking a sustained study of a key topic for the ango period.

This year our study topic will be an in-depth look at the three poisons (ignorance, greed, anger) in our lives and society and how we can transform them into the three medicines (wisdom, generosity, loving-kindness.) We will do this over a 6-week course of study, with weeks 1-3 looking at the three poisons and weeks 4-6 exploring how we transform them and offer our world the medicine it so desperately needs.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 18. Our classes will meet weekly in the six weeks that comprise the heart of Lent. We are currently finalizing our schedule, so please check back here for further information as we get closer to Lent.
