SOSHIMSA ZEN CENTER - BLOG

Dinair Santana recieved a charter and will be the President of the Brazil Chapter of the So Shim Sa Buddhist Fellowship. Andrea Prados will be the treasurer for this first international chapter.  Dinair has been studying Buddhism under Ven. Myong Ahn Sunim for 7 years and has completed the Chapter President Course. We look forward to supporting her in this expansion and watching our Sangha grow.

On Sunday August 7th, several new visitors participated in the Traditional Sunday Service. Afterwards the Sangha ate together and exchanged pleasant conversation. The feedback from the visitors was good and they were impressed with the progress of So Shim Sa and the support from its members.
