Good afternoon dear friends –
Given impermanence of weather forecasts (perhaps snowyish, perhaps flurryish), the hills required to get to and from the Meditation Hall, the uncertainty of transit, and our intention to practice throughout this season with as few obstacles as possible….
We are cancelling our regular Thursday practice tomorrow (December 8).
NEXT WEEK (December 15th) we will explore PLUM VILLAGE PRACTICE SONGS that support our engaged Buddhist practice.
TWO WEEKS FROM NOW (December 22th) we will have a SOLSTICE SITTING with many many candles, much silence and Invoking the Bodhissatva’s names to support our Engaged Buddhist Practice.
NEW YEAR’S EVE (December 31st) we join Mountain Rain Zen and others at any time, for any period from 7:00 p.m. to midnight to CHANT FOR WORLD PEACE. There are periods of 40 minutes sitting, 10 minutes walking, 10 minutes chanting throughout the evening. We may come and go as we wish. We sound 108 bells at the end to dispel our many delusions. No registration necessary. By donation.
Breathing together….
