Upcoming Event:
Rama's Birthday 2023
Santa Fe, NM
Thursday, 2/9 - Saturday, 2/11
"There are beings who come into this world, from time to time, not simply with miraculous powers, which we call the siddhas, but with a miraculous awareness that is so strong yet so subtle that anyone or anything that touches that awareness is transformed forever." ~ Rama
On Thursday, February 9th, the Enlightenment Sangha will join the American Buddhist Society in Santa Fe to celebrate our teacher's birthday. Rama is the founder of our Lineage, so this is a very special time for us all.
This is going to be an exciting and fun experience for all who will join us, either online or in person. Santa Fe is a magical place, and Rama loved it so much that he built a home here.
We are pleased to share the American Buddhist Society's announcement below.
This luminous celebration and power trip includes:
If you decide to join us in person, there are some inexpensive airline options to fly to Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's a one-hour drive from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and you can take a shuttle from the airport. Airfare to the smaller Santa Fe airport is usually more expensive.
If you want to attend all activities, you should arrive to Santa Fe no later than Thursday Feb 9th by 5 PM and you can make plans to travel back anytime on Sunday Feb 12th. We recommend afternoon flights back home so that you can still enjoy Santa Fe with sangha friends on Sunday.
We have event space reserved in downtown Santa Fe. There are many excellent hotel and airbnb options in the downtown area or in some of the near-by, less busy power places like Tesuque or other areas on the outskirts of the city.
