Description

How do meditation, prayer, and action work together?Join us monthly at the Baha'i Welcome Center to practice meditation as a basis for spiritual progress. All faith backgrounds are welcome.We gather in the Welcome Center (next to the Temple) at 7:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month for a brief introduction to meditation from a Baha’i perspective and suggestions for helpful methods. Then, for 20 minutes, we meditate individually, sharing our experiences and inspiration afterward. There are no set forms of meditation prescribed in the Baha'i teachings. However, Baha'is are urged to pray and meditate daily and are taught that meditation should be followed by service to humanity. But the way to meditate is left entirely to the individual. In this monthly gathering, passages from the Baha'i Writings will be shared as we learn and practice meditation together. (You can either lay or sit on the floor or sit in a chair. You may wish to bring a blanket.) People of all faith backgrounds are encouraged to attend, and you can come as you are. Writings from other religions are also welcomed. The Welcome Center address is 112 Linden Ave, Wilmette, IL. Those who wish to do so may gather beforehand in the Temple for a period of individual reflection. The Temple is open every day from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. for personal prayer and reflection. The Baha'i Welcome Center is located just west of the Temple. (Photo taken from Linden Ave.)
