Good evening dear friends
Tomorrow, Thursday April 07, we begin our study and practice theme of Diversity with a Ceremony to Recite the EIGHT DIVERSITY MINDFULNESS TRAININGS that have been a part of our practice since 2002.
The next seven weeks – including a Day of Mindfulness on Saturday May 14 – will include many different readings, Dharma talks, sutra services, and songs about diversity as a part of our practice.
MOUNTAIN RAIN who developed and maintain the Zendo where we practice, invites us all to AN EARTH DAY FILM SHOWING AND CELEBRATION on Friday, April 22 from 7:00 to 9:00.
They write: “Please join Mountain Rain Zen Community and BC Insight Meditation Society and Waves and Waters Sangha for a showing of the documentary film Planetary directed by Guy Reid. Discussion, Earth Day dedication of practice, and refreshments to follow. Everyone welcome.
They will also have have an Earth Care Flea Market in the entry hall for the month of April. Items are available by donation with all proceeds going to a local organization devoted to caring for the earth. You are welcome to contribute Flea Market items.

Smiling as darkness falls….
