Dear Friends:
We welcome you to our site where you can find support for you and your sangha. This site resulted from a meeting at Chau’s in January, 2012. We decided we needed a place to share information about ourselves and our sanghas. We (that includes you, the reader!) plan to post
- links to Thich Nhat Hanh websites, sanghas and other Buddhist resources
- guided meditations from various teachers and friends
- aspirant information from multiple sources
- photographs
- experiences and insights
- whatever else seems appropriate
- gathas
- poems
- admin help – thank you Gary
- support for dana

Would like to see an Events link. There are many things that could be posted now.
I know they could be blog posts, but it would be better if they were part of a calendar with links.

I’ll install the calendar code some time soon!
thanks for the suggestion.

Wonderful!
Thank you so very much for doing this. I am so touched by your generosity and kindness in crafting this online sangha. you have realized some long-held wishes I’ve had for resources.
A lotus to all of you
Fantastic site, what a beautiful flower.
Dear Dharma Friends,
What a beautiful website you have created. Thank you.
I have found helpful guided meditations here as well as a wonderful song that I plan to learn and share with our children’s sangha here in Maine.
with a bow of appreciation,

Wonderful site! I am thrilled to have this resource for our community. MANY thanks to Jerome and all!
A few thoughts:
Can we post the No. Cal. Sangha Directory some place?
How does one go about putting something on the calendar, and do we need a discussion about how the calendar should be managed (what kinds of things go on it, who decides, etc.)
Could we rename the “Guided Meditation” tab – perhaps call it “Practices” to be broader, and then put the new 14 MT’s there (not intuitive to look for them under “Reviews”)?
Denise:
Where would you like to put the NorCal Sangha Directory?
To put thing in the calendar, you have to sign up and do it from the admin panel at http://thichnhathanhsanghas.org/NorCal/wp-login.php. The calendar is basically free game. Right now there are no restrictions.
I followed your suggestions about changing “Guided Meditation” and moved it to “Practices.” I also moved the 14 MT to practices.
Jerome
Thanks, Jerome for making the changes.
As for where the No. Cal. sangha directory should go…I’m not sure. It doesn’t fit under the existing headings. Maybe it needs its own? I leave it to your judgment.
Thank you to Jerome, Gary, and anyone else who has contributed to making this beautiful website. It made me smile to see the home page! What a beautiful offering.
Susan:
You are quite welcome.
You are invited to visit mountainsangha.org for Mediation Practices outside of sangha support.

I was looking over the website to see where the No. Cal. Directory could go, and I realized that there were a number of item categories that were mentioned on the home page, but with no links or tabs where they could go. I changed those items to CAPS, so they would stand out. I think it would be a good idea to see if any of the items could fit together, and which ones we want to have a tab or link for. Otherwise, it’s a bit of a tease!
Here is what the home page says (in part):
“We (that includes you, the reader!) plan to post
LINKS to Thich Nhat Hanh websites, SANGHAS and other Buddhist resources
guided meditations from various teachers and friends
ASPIRANT INFORMATION from multiple sources
PHOTOGRAPHS
experiences and insights

SUPPORT FOR DANA
Are you planning a Sangha listing by State? We are a new Sangha, Full Moon Sangha, Farmington, Maine (sister Sangha of Peaceful Heart Sangha in Augusta, Maine) and would like people in our area who are looking for a group to be able to find us.
Mary:
I suggest that you sign up and post an article about each sangha in your area.
As of now, there are no plans to do anything by state.
Metta, Jerome
