Stick around Lion’s Roar Dharma Center long enough and, sooner or later, someone will ask you to help out. Whether it’s setting up meditation cushions, washing dishes, emptying the trash, or planting flowers, there are many ways to serve. Over time, those responsibilities often change, expand, and deepen along with our commitment to the path and the community. And if you have the heart for it, you may find yourself stepping into mentoring or other leadership role.
But so-called leadership at the Temple doesn’t look quite like leadership in the conventional world. It’s less about title and authority than service. Less about having the answers than being willing to learn in the moment. It takes heart, to be sure, but also patience to work with difficult personalities—especially our own—and the willingness to look foolish in front of the Teacher.
Join Yeshe Tsogyal this Sunday, June 14th, at 11:00 am, for a look at what it means to mentor and lead at LRDC, where the usual measures of success don’t always apply, the lessons are often unexpected, and the practice is as much about transforming ourselves as helping others.
