“If you are a drop of water,
then you will evaporate halfway;
but if you go as a river,
you will surely reach the ocean.”

Going As A River Sangha | Edmonton

Going As A River Sangha Edmonton is a community of practice in the engaged Buddhist tradition of Venerable Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh (Thây).

The North Saskatchewan River flows through the city of Edmonton.

In Cree, Saskatchewan means ‘swift flowing river’ .

With gratitude, we acknowledge the privilege we have, to live & practice on Treaty 6 Territory, a traditional meeting grounds, gathering place, and travelling route to the Cree, Salteaux, Blackfoot, Metis, Dene & Nakota Sioux. We acknowledge our land ancestors - all the many first Nations, Metis, & Inuit whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries & we are committed to continue learning from & supporting these & other Indigenous communities.
