A New Year’s Blessing plus new and returning programs are on the schedule for 2021 at the Blue Lotus Center on Shamrock Boulevard in Venice.
“Join with us to receive and share your blessing for the upcoming new year 2021” said Bhante Chan, spiritual director of Blue Lotus. “Let’s send love and peace to the human and non human, all the beings. May all living beings be well, happy and peaceful.”
1 Annual New Year’s Blessing Ceremony
Begin the new year with Buddhist monks chanting blessings in a special Zoom program from Blue Lotus Buddhist Meditation Cente at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 2.
“As each of us long for human connection, Blue Lotus feels lucky to use zoom in these tough times to connect with you all,” said Monk San, teacher at Blue Lotus.”We will be chanting beautiful words that have been chanted for thousands of years all around the world to bring peace to each of us.”

The center offers both Secular and Buddhist Mindfulness Meditation and teachings from Buddhist wisdom tradition. Many classes such as Wednesday Meditation Dharma Chat, Sunday Buddhist Wisdom for Everyday Life and others are perfect for both new people and long-term meditators. Blue Lotus is happy to offer the calming inner peace that comes through meditation especially in these stressful times.
