Meditation, Dharma Talk & Sound Bath
Sunday, September 14
2 PM – 3 PM
Join us for a grounding and heart-opening afternoon of wisdom and healing.
Diane Russell-Chrestman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and seasoned mindfulness teacher, will offer a 40-minute Dharma talk and Q&A on The Six Sense Gates—a foundational Buddhist teaching on how we perceive and respond to the world through our senses. Learn how awareness of these gates can bring more clarity, calm, and freedom to your everyday experience.
To close, Augusta Wheeler, a neighbor of Grant Park, yogi, and mom, will guide us through a 20-minute meditation and sound bath. With soothing tones and vibrations, Augusta creates a restorative space for inner stillness and gentle release.
Whether you're exploring meditation for the first time or deepening an existing practice, this 60-minute session invites you to pause, listen, and reconnect.
Free and open to all. No experience necessary.
Donations appreciated via Zelle (chuaqminh@gmail.com) or in person to support our community offerings.

Weekly Sunday Vietnamese Service
Vietnamese Chanting | 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
Vegetarian Lunch | 12:30 PM – 1:00 PM
Each Sunday, we gather in the peaceful halls of Quang Minh Temple to nourish both body and spirit. Through Vietnamese chanting, we create positive vibrations that ripple through our sacred space, cleansing the mind, calming the heart, and grounding us in the present moment.
This is more than just a service—it’s a connection.
In the midst of our busy, ever-changing modern world—samsara—a consistent spiritual practice helps us anchor ourselves in peace, clarity, and purpose. It reminds us we’re not alone in our efforts to live with compassion and mindfulness. When we gather as a sangha, we are supported by one another on the path to liberation. The community we build is one of the Three Jewels (Triple Gem 💎 💎💎) of Buddhism, alongside the Buddha and the Dharma. Whether you’re a longtime practitioner or new to chanting, your presence adds to the collective energy of healing and harmony. Come chant, connect, and share a nourishing meal with us. We’d love to welcome you into our circle of peace. 🙏
