Clear Mountain | Tuesday Evening Interfaith Meditation, Chanting, & Song Service (Online & In-Person) (7:00 pm – 6:00 am; PT, US)

Clear Mountain and Saint Mark’s invite you to a special night of interfaith harmony at St. Mark’s Cathedral in the spirit of Taizé with— a gathering of meditation, chants from the Pāḷi Canon, Christian song, and readings from both traditions. The gathering explores parallels between Christian “Fruits of the Spirit” and traditional Buddhist virtues. Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh’s “Living Buddha, Living Christ”, the gathering represents the friendship of the Clear Mountain & Saint Mark’s communities.”

An accompanying interfaith dialogue discussing the two traditions’ resonance will be held before the event, on Sunday, May 12th, following the 9 am service at Saint Mark’s.

From St. Mark’s Cathedral:
“Tonight’s prayer service meditates on the parallels between each “fruit of the Spirit” and a corresponding “Dhamma” from Buddhist scripture. Each section is prefaced with a brief background to the concepts, and one Reading and one Chant are paired with each fruit of the Spirit or Dhamma.”
