Please join us at the beautiful grounds of the Benedict Canyon Retreat House as Rosamaría Segura and Eric McCullum light the lamp of dharma during their Senior Teacher authorization. The Theravada Lineage ceremony will be led by InsightLA Founding Teacher Trudy Goodman PhD. who will formally pass the Theravada Buddhist lineage to Rosamaría and Eric, thereby making them another link in an unbroken chain back to the historical Buddha.
This free event is a chance for the InsightLA community to come together to celebrate and acknowledge these teachers’ deep dedication to the Buddhist path. Alongside their peers, students, and teachers we will have an opportunity to share some light food, music, fun, and laughter together on this joyous occasion.
Although we may attend classes together it’s rare we get time to actually relax and share space with our fellow travelers on the path. This wonderful occasion is the perfect occasion to do so.
What to bring:
Please bring hats, sun umbrellas, water bottles, and a light lunch. Altho we will be doing the ceremony under the shade of the tree in the meadow we will be outdoors in the afternoon.
And of course bring your big heart, a big smile, and a celebratory state of mind!

With the wish to free all beings
I shall always go for refuge
To Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha,
Until I reach full enlightenment.
Inspired by wisdom and compassion,
Today, in the Buddha’s presence,
I generate the mind of full awakening
For the benefit of all sentient beings.
As long as space remains
As long as sentient beings remain
Until then may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world.
