There are lots of ways to engage with the sangha.
Monday to Friday 06:30
DAILY NEMBUTSU
Geeta Chari: Let’s do some Nembutsu every weekday morning at 6:30 am Rome time. We begin to chant straightaway, without social talk, for 20 minutes, in chain-style. There is a bell rung at the end. People who wish to stay and talk afterwards are welcome to do so. Saturdays and Sundays are rest days. Namo Amida Bu
Every Thursday there is a half-hour reading and discussion of the Summary of Faith and Practice from 06:00 to 06:30, followed by Nembutsu as usual.

NAIKAN WITH KIMIKO
The next one hour Naikan Session. Naikan, literally "inward reflection" is a Japanese approach to life review and Dharma practice. It leads to a sense of gratitude and a healing and enhancing of relationships. Naikan is both a spiritual practice and a personal therapy. Naikan developed out of a Pureland Buddhist retreat practice in which one reflected upon one's life and its destiny. The modern practice can be performed in intensive five or seven day retreats or on a daily basis or from time to time. In Global Sangha we often combine Naikan with Chi Quan, a practice of tranquil abiding in which one offers the fruits of one's introspection to the Buddhas in the spirit of "this is not me, this is not mine, this is not myself" and receives in response the grace and peace bestowed by the tathagata.
