Community Potluck

All are welcome. Come out and get to know your practice community. This is a child friendly event. There will be a children’s activity table, some games and a brief introduction to mindfulness for kids. Bring some food, your family and friends. We will have a short ceremony celebrating Buddha’s Birthday followed by some sweet tea and good eats. The potluck is open to the whole community. Feel free to come if you do not attend the half day retreat before the potluck.

Last year we had a beautiful and very sweet day as a community. During the ceromony Daniel gave some encouraging words about our practice. We chanted the heart suttra and one by one each pored some sweet tea over the baby Buddha. To see pictures follow this link: Buddha’s Birthday.

From the: Genjokoan

“To study the buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. No trace of realization remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly.”
