Members of the public are invited to a grand opening at 12:30 p.m., April 15, for an open house and potluck lunch. American Buddhist Monk and resident teacher of the Kadampa Meditation Center, Georgia Gen Kelsang Mondrub, will be leading the teachings and meditations.

“In what has been a local book and meditation group for the past seven years, meeting at various locations in Pensacola, the growth and support from the community is making it possible for us to open our doors,” says Dennis Reynolds, a member of the group.

Location: Room. 221, Old Sacred Heart Hospital, on 12th Ave., Pensacola. For more information, email [email protected] or visit MeditationInPensacola.org.
