About Us
Living and Sharing Buddhist Brightness
Blue Lotus Assembly is a vibrant and self-sustaining spiritual community dedicated to sharing authentic Buddhist practices for realizing enlightened human potential with all people who seek a deeper, truer, more significant experience of life.
Enlightenment is a momentary realization of clarity as to the true nature of reality. New insight or understanding dawns. Possibilities for growth to new levels of psychological and spiritual maturity open. With the breakthrough awakening to new awareness, life is experienced through a new perspective. Former habit patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior fall away. New ways for more authentic living emerge.
Blue Lotus Assembly also serves as Stephen & Rumiko Hayes’ personal charity supporting spiritual education work around the world. Current charitable projects include:
- Pema Ts’al Monastic Institute in Pokhara, Nepal, provides educations for young monks of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
- Pema Ts’al School in Mundgod, India, provides educations for girls and boys forced into exile from their native Tibet.
We invite you to attend our illuminating programs in the USA and support our friends’ work in Asia.
Sojo Headmaster An-Shu Stephen Kinryu-Jien Hayes leads regular practice sessions, initiations, and seminars at the SKH Quest Center in Dayton, Ohio.
